Apologies for cross-postings
MDA, the UK's lead organisation in the management of information
about museum collections has launched a free online Forum to help
museum professionals find information and share expertise.
Accessible through the MDA website at:
http://www.mda.org.uk/forum.htm
the Forum enables museum staff to ask questions, discuss current
issues and find out more about the work of MDA.
The Forum is free to use, although new users are required to
register. Discussions are reviewed regularly by MDA's network of
information management specialists, who are able to answer queries
and make constructive suggestions.
Topics covered by the Forum include general documentation, the
SPECTRUM standard, Museum Accreditation and Copyright. There is also
a members-only section which provides direct access to MDA experts
through the AdvicePoint advisory service. The Forum will also host
discussions relating to MDA's 'Collections for All' campaign:
http://www.collectionsforall.org.uk
Forum users are able to access information about the latest
documentation-related jobs and tenders through the relevant section.
Nick Poole, MDA Director, commented:
"MDA is committed to providing timely and authoritative advice to
busy museum professionals. The Forum is one of a number of ways in
which we are reaching out to the sector, to ensure that people can
get the right answer when they need it, how they need it."
