Dreaming of a New Collections Management System: Episode 1

During this hour and a half webinar, we cover many different challenges that cultural heritage professionals face on a regular basis with collections management systems. We discuss challenges around data standardization, the differences in metadata across Libraries, Archives, and Museums and the need to create uniformity, migrating to a new system and the lack of viable products to choose from, the lack of innovation in collections management systems, and how we can look at collections management data differently in order to better capture the stories and people behind objects rather than focusing solely on the object itself.
Panelists include:
Nik Honeysett
Valarie Kinkade
Chad Weinard
Koven Smith

I'm glad this moment in time was recorded. It sounds like a lot was happening in the chat and I wish that was visible, too!

Thanks for posting this right away. I wasn't able to log on to the live talk as the attendee numbers had hit 100 before it had started. Such an important conversation. Great panelists. Looking forward to more.
