Dear William,
The Library of the Indianapolis Museum of Art went into a consortium with the Indianapolis Public Library. You can find us under
http://www.ima-art.org then click on libraries, etc. 95% of our records can now be accessed through the Public Library's Horizon system. They are just entering all of our magazine holdings.
At the end of last year we received a large grant for the library automation project including retrospective conversion, etc.
All in all it was a lot of work but very rewarding. The staff of the Public Library was very helpful and great to work with. I would be glad to share with you the grant proposal.
Best wishes,
Ursula Kolmstetter

If I remember correctly, the Indianapolis Museum of Art is automating its
collection through the Indianapolis Public Library; the Baltimore Museum of
Art and the Walters Art Gallery are automating through Johns Hopkins; and
the Amos Carter Museum, the Kimball Art Museum, and the Modern Art Museum of
Fort Worth are automating through Texas Christian University. How are these
cooperative automation projects progressing? Are there other such projects
out there? I ask because The Newark Museum and the New Jersey Historical
Society have begun discussions with the Newark Public Library and Rutgers
University about the possibility of automating through one of them. What are
the advantages and disadvantages of cooperative automation projects. All
feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
