Dear all,
Apologies for another post from me. I just thought I'd give a quick update about the previous post I made concerning an online survey about collections management systems ( https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TGMFMD3).
Various people have asked if I plan on sharing the results of the survey. I hadn't wanted to promise anything before seeing the reaction from the sector, but it looks like the results could be interesting for anyone looking at changing their CMS. So once I've collated results, I will be happy to share them with you. The survey closes on the 21st September- feel free to complete it if you haven't done so. It shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to do, but will hopefully give us all a good insight into what Scottish museums are doing with their databases, and why.
Many thanks for your help!
Nico

Hi all,
For all users of collections databases and collections management software
The City of Edinburgh Council Museums & Galleries are currently undergoing a review of our collections management database. We're hoping to replace our existing system, and are looking at the various alternatives on the market.
I'd be really grateful if you could spare 10 minutes or so of your time to complete an online survey about your collections database, what you use it for, and if you have recently changed databases, your experiences of this change over. For best results, feel free to encourage colleagues to take part too so we get as wide a response from all areas of museum and gallery work.
Follow the link for the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TGMFMD3
The survey closes at 6pm on Friday 21st September.
Many thanks for your help with this - it'll be hugely valued by all of us at Edinburgh Museums & Galleries!
