In article <[log in to unmask]>, on Mon, 15 Jan 2001 at 19:34:07, I asked for data from cataloguing and data inputting projects that would help when estimating the time required for cataloguing museum objects. I promised to send a further message when I had compiled the results. As the information I received was so diverse it was not possible to produce a concise summary, so I have the figures on our Web site at <http://www.willpowerinfo.co.uk/catrates.htm> with some accompanying notes. I hope that people will find this useful, and I shall be glad to add any further data that anyone cares to send to me, preferably in the format of the tables that I have assembled. I am sending this message to the mailing lists of the [UK] Museum Computer Group, the Museum Computer Network (MCN) and to the general list MUSEUM-L, these being the lists to which I sent my initial enquiry. I apologise to people who therefore receive more than one copy. [Contrary to some recent discussion on MUSEUM-L, I find that it is more helpful to send a single message to three lists rather than three separate messages. When I receive the same message with the same ID from more than one list, my software can spot the duplication and deal with it appropriately; I imagine that others can too.] Leonard Will -- Willpower Information (Partners: Dr Leonard D Will, Sheena E Will) Information Management Consultants Tel: +44 (0)20 8372 0092 27 Calshot Way, Enfield, Middlesex EN2 7BQ, UK.
