The document summarizes challenges with internet access at the Shelburne Museum including a slow network, old computers and infrastructure, bandwidth and email limits, blocked sites and apps, and restrictive policies. To address these issues, the museum allocated resources to purchase a new customizable firewall, new transceivers, and remove bandwidth limits while allowing social networking on sanctioned accounts. These changes have led to less grumbling, higher productivity, and continued planning to further update their infrastructure and policies.

Punch cards/ reliability
High Frustration for all departments – not able to complete their job in a professional manner or take advantage of new applications. Development/marketing – unable to use video, large volume emails would shut down system. Curatorial – unable to send/receive, view communications. Preservation/Conservation - difficult to attract/communicate with prospective and current donors, fellows, interns. Education: no place to post education related information, outreach to parents, schools. Lack of consistency over what was posted by museum folk on own time.
1. Copper/Old Fiber, inadequate Switches 2. one third of the computers : over 5 years old 3. set on accounts 4. very restrictive – no customization 5. Due to security & productivitiy concerns 6.based on outdated equipment 6. Departments worked on their own.
Create groups, allow individual sites, see why a site was logged, etc… Newer computers to high end users – several year old computers were being used by interns/6 months. Simple things: defrag, clean up temp files, set virtual memory higher Crucial.com – add RAM – canabalize computers that are out of commission 5. to improve speed to outlying buildings 6. Had been put in place when we were on dial-up and never removed! Revisit Often 7. not everyone can get our attachments
Policy put in place when firewall/spam filter/anti-virus apps were not as sophisticated – also, folks didn’t recognize the business use Few meetings, concensus, one person – marketing has final say What do folks need? How can we get there together – combining grant money for one great website Social use policy replacing outdated policy Strategic Technology Plan
On the plane: person sitting next to me tells me she is a ‘fan’.
