Dear
All
A quick update
on the UK and Ireland TMS User Group meeting that was held
recently in Leeds.
Thanks to Jon and Sascha
for organising and facilitating, and thanks to all who attended. There
were representatives from Central Saint Martins, Tate, Sheffield Industrial
Museum, Henry Moore Foundation, Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museums, Museums
Sheffield and Leeds Museums and Galleries. It was a good mix of
presentations from those of us who use TMS and what is going on / planned by
Gallery Systems.
Following introductions I
presented on Leed's recent experiences in upgrading to TMS 2012, and what we
were planning on working on in the future. We have a difficult
internal IT market place which makes things complicated and costly
and slows us down considerably. Alistair from Museums Sheffield gave
us an insight into the uses of thesaurus, how to build them up and how to
make them work for you and your end users. Courtney and Madeleine from
Tate gave us a really interesting outline of their projects especially with
regard to Archives and TMS. This stimulated a lot of discussion, and is
something we are looking at taking further.
We heard about Service
Pack 2 for TMS2012, which amongst other things is going to fix the crystal
report bug that has been frustrating a number of us. None of us had been
able to go to the last CI so it was good to hear about the plans for TMS
2014. All in all it was a really useful day.
The next group meeting
will be in October.
Kind
regards
Jen
