La Salle University (La Salle University Art Museum)

La Salle University Art Museum (LSUAM) will undertake a comprehensive two-year database migration and digital access project to improve internal collections management processes and make its art collection available to public audiences online. Activities include purchasing a new collections management system that can be supported by the university; creating 4,225 digital images of collection artworks; migrating 4,671 existing records from the current database into the new one; undertaking a pre-launch evaluation with an audience focus group; launching an online presence for the museum's permanent art collection using the new system's web kiosk platform; and completing a summative evaluation of the project. The project will improve the ability of LSUAM faculty and local educators to work with LSUAM's collections in designing lesson plans; increase the visibility of LSUAM among local, regional and international audiences; and improve opportunities for research and scholarship.
