Evaluator comments
The following comments have been provided by our evaluators after they rated the performance of each task. These are selected comments drawn from the “Additional Comments” section of the evaluation form.
- All aspects of data recording and management are well integrated. Task management and notification features would facilitate the planning and documentation of exhibit related activities.
- This collections management tool is a great find. It seems to be very easy to use because the functions and tasks are very intuitive. The demonstration shows that users can easily and quickly learn to use this application. The application’s interface is very pleasing to the eye. After often working in Quebec museum institution conservation/restoration departments, this application provides good technological possibilities when writing condition or restoration reports. I am convinced that conservators would very much like to work with this collections management application. This collections management application is one of my favourite among the demonstrations I’ve seen.
- A very powerful and interesting tool. My only caveat: not being able to change the database entries myself.
