Dear Colleagues,

On Friday, June 18th from 8 AM PST/11 AM EST to 9 AM PST/12 PM EST, the Balboa Park Online Collaborative (BPOC) invites you to join us for Episode 5 of our Dreaming of a New Collections Management System series. In this episode, there will be a discussion on how cooperative models for collections database and management work may serve your institution. Our featured Solution Provider, Whirl-i-gig with their CMS CollectiveAccess, and the Association of Nova Scotia Museums and Connecticut League of Historical Organizations will discuss how their shared model has helped to address staff digital literacy and training needs; the difficulty of getting data in and out of a CMS; developing better workflows and sustainable collections-related practices, and cleaning up data in preparation for a migration to a new CMS. 

Our panelists for this session include:

Seth Kaufman, Developer, Whirl-i-gig

Karin Kierstead, Museum Evaluation Program Manager, Association of Nova Scotia Museums

Diane Lee, Collections Manager, Connecticut League of Historical Organizations

As with all of our sessions in this series, it is free to attend, and the session will be recorded for those unable to be present for the live discussion. All recordings of our webinar series can be found on our Youtube Channel. Live transcription services will be available and the recording will be captioned.
