Ready to Read: The Discovery Game Changer – Museum Collections Data Enhancement
Rachael Cristine Woody
We are pleased to announce that Rachael Cristine Woody’s newest title, The Discovery Game Changer: Museum Collections Data Enhancement, is now available from Lucidea Press.
The Collections Management System (CMS) is an engine required for the continual thrum of collections management work. Even when collection items are in storage, there is management and access work to do. As each object lies dormant, museum staff are buzzing behind the scenes to treat, research, plan, and catalog. If they are not generating new data, they are enhancing existing data. This is where data enhancement lives—in the everyday of collections management.
The logistics of how best to perform data enhancement depend on the area of data you wish to focus on as well as the functionality available to you via the CMS. This book will walk you through creative leveraging of resources such as GenAI and internships, and explore thoughtful approaches and strategies you can employ to ensure accuracy and efficiency in your enhancement efforts. Yes, data enhancement is optional. However, when approached thoughtfully, using the right tools and methods, it can be a game-changer for your collections.
Representative chapters:
- The Right Time and Place for Data Enhancement
- Building a Foundation for Data Enhancement Work
- Identifying the Right Data Enhancement Opportunities
- Incorporating Interns in Data Enhancement Work
- How AI Can Offer Data Enhancement Support
We at Lucidea are delighted to offer you a free version of this eBook, which you can download here.
