Dear All, The Ashmolean Museum is currently creating digital images at a rate of over 60Gbytes per week. Two projects are responsible for all this image capture, both of which are likely to continue at this production rate for at least the next two years. Rather belatedly we are now thinking of implementing an image management system, or maybe even a digital asset management system. The aim would be to give the departments that create images an effective solution for storing their creations centrally, while allowing departments who use images to have access to a central "image repository" from which they can extract various version, be they high-quality for catalogue publication, low resolution for the web, or something in between. Does anyone have any advice on choosing and implementing a image/digital asset management system? And/or, can anyone recommend a consultant with experience of implementing a digital asset management system? Comments, thoughts, etc. greatly appreciated. Thanks Jonathan Moffett PS I have looked at Ed Bremner'a and John Faithfull's comments from March last year, but maybe things have moved on since then? -- Dr Jonathan Moffett Oxford University's Museums' IT Manager & Ashmolean Museum WebMaster [log in to unmask] Museum Website: http://www.ashmolean.org For disclaimer, see : http://www.ashmolean.org/email ************************************************** For mcg information and to manage your subscription to the list, visit the website at http://www.museumscomputergroup.org.uk **************************************************
