The document discusses how the Smithsonian, with its 19 museums, 136 million artifacts, and 5,000 employees, is exploring ways to help people learn about their interests both during and after visiting. It provides three case studies of crossing boundaries: 1) Working with educators on digital content, 2) Engaging youth through social networks and digital badges, and 3) Co-curating exhibits with other groups. The key aspects of successful collaboration are choosing partners that enhance expertise, working on shared problems, investing for the long-term, and using both in-person and virtual methods.

The document summarizes a 4-day tour of 9 museums in Denmark to evaluate whether they are relevant, engaging, and participatory. It discusses the social role of museums in effectively engaging communities and addressing societal challenges. It questions the relationships between museums and their audiences, and whether museums embrace difficult topics and include diverse voices. It observes aspects of the Danish museums visited like their architecture, signage, exhibitions, and handling of difficult subject matter. It raises whether museums demonstrate social responsibility and whether the public's input is marginalized or central. Finally, it questions what it means to be Danish.
This document summarizes a method for quantifying the corrosion rate of metals using oxygen consumption measurements. It describes using an oxygen sensor inside an enclosed container to measure the decrease in oxygen concentration around an artifact over time. A higher oxygen consumption rate indicates an object is less stable. The method can determine the air volume in the container to calculate consumption rates accurately. An example shows measurement results for a rivet plate, finding untreated iron consumes oxygen faster than annealed or wax-coated samples.
The document discusses Glasgow Museums' journey navigating new ethical terrain. It describes a project where museum staff worked with community members to make exhibits, rather than curators dictating what is shown. Quotes from participants highlight how the project empowered people and was a special, collaborative experience. The document also references other initiatives like working with literacy programs and creating labels for exhibits from a prisoner's perspective to understand their experiences.
The document discusses the need to take a holistic approach to understanding the economic value of archaeology that considers its relationships with social, cultural, and other types of capital. It argues that viewing economic and cultural values as incompatible is unhelpful and that archaeologists need to understand, measure, and communicate the economic impacts and benefits of sites to help with management and protection. As an example, it describes how the Kilmartin Glen archaeological site and museum in Scotland generates an estimated £5 million/year in tourism spending and 300 jobs while also fulfilling important cultural and social roles.

SNMP is a protocol used to monitor network devices and determine communication methods for sharing information. It allows management programs to poll agent programs running on devices using SNMP messages. The management program then aggregates the collected information from responding agents and presents it graphically. Bridges and routers relay data between networks. MIB refers to the database of objects managed in a network that SNMP accesses to monitor and control device information and status.
SNMP is a protocol that allows network devices to communicate information about their status to network management systems. The management system polls agent programs running on devices using SNMP messages, and the agents reply with information that is aggregated and presented graphically. This information is stored in the MIB, or Management Information Base, which contains objects managing the elements of the network. Bridges and routers relay data between networks.
