Thanks Nate. I was really happy to hear about your ArtsConnectEd2 project at MW. That’s going to be cross-institution, right? I think our educator peeps will be very interested in using it.

Very, very cool. Love the automatically-loaded related items on the right for the detail pages, and especially the user profiles. We’re in the process of fleshing out some similar pieces for ArtsConnectEd2 and I’m going to show this site as an example… Well done to you and your team, this is huge!

Wow – this is an amazing feature. I love how clean it looks, and how you’ve made the images jump off the screen. I really like the considerations you took into account – like the fact that it’s so much fun to find things by accident.

Wow!!! I’m so far away but feel so close. Great interface design and the social tagging makes the collection online all the more compelling. Congratulations to you all and I look forward to being part of the community.

I am thrilled about this new feature!
It will be marvelous for members of the public, such as myself, to have this virtual connection to the Museum’s collection!!!

Thanks to all of you who have made this possible…..

Congratulations, it looks great! I love the clear layout of the collections data, especially the ‘not on view’ line with an icon for emphasis. It’s a shame that items without images are less likely to be tagged but hopefully they’ll come online with time.

I’d be interested to know whether you used existing modules for any of your functionality, so I’ll keep an eye out for the post from your programmer.

cheers, Mia
