[Apologies for cross-posting]
I have been appointed as a consultant by the London Museums Hub to
undertake a review of machine readable labelling systems in collections
management and access in museums, libraries and archives (focusing
mainly on museums). The results will be published in the form of a
report and this is expected to contain four case studies.
I would be grateful if colleagues could contact me, on or off list, to
share their experience of these technologies. I am interested in past,
current and future applications, in the UK and abroad, and good and bad
experiences.
I am building a database of institutions that have used, or are planning
to use barcodes and rfid tags to monitor object movements and enhance
visitor access. Initial research has identified well-documented trials
at the Great North Museum, Newcastle and the Petrie Museum, London
amongst others.
I understand that it is a busy time of year so just a brief response for
now would be great, and I can contact you again in January.
Many Thanks
Julian Tomlin
