Highland's approach using HBSMR - put (virtually) everything on the online HER and point all potential visitors to the website. I don't remember the last time we had a visitor (the online HER averages 65 vistors per day, none of whom need supervision or training). Bliss really.

Agreed – too much of a security risk and the visitors still need training overseeing.

You could try the much rumoured Gloucestershire approach of not letting visitors come to the HER.

 

Just a thought..

We are still sorting things out from our unitary reorganisation, and one of the latest things we have been told is that when we move to our new location and log onto the new network under Government Connect we will not be able to log visitors to the HER onto HBSMR. 

 

At present we have a read-only version which we let consultants and some members of the public use, with some simple guidance, to speed up their search.  Although there is potential for them to roam around our network and files, they are also grown-ups and are in for a specific purpose - it has never been an issue.  Additionally, we do not have access to files unrelated to our work area, and between Stephen and myself we have no confidential files. 

 

What I was wondering was how other HERs approach this problem, either with HBSMR or any other system they are using.  We have considered the Heritage Gateway as an alternative and returning to paper maps (which fortunately we still have), but this is not an ideal solution.  We are also considering a standalone copy on a locked down PC which would then entail regular data uploads.  All ideas welcome.
