本章介绍了一些案例研究，展示了围绕藏品管理的新的和正在出现的做法。本章首先简要概述了20世纪70年代初出现的主要用于内部清点和审计目的的数字收藏品管理系统，探讨了博物馆如何采用新技术来改善内部管理职能并开放收藏品，以便用户更多地参与和互动。最近事态发展的案例研究表明，博物馆业务通过藏品管理系统实现了融合，例如虫害管理和藏品数据的融合。另一项研究探讨了藏品数据如何通过画廊内互动、移动应用程序和在线访问重新调整用途；还探讨了仅限在线收藏管理系统的潜力，以及包含用户生成的内容如何有助于接触到新的、有时是意想不到的受众。最后，本章提出了正在管理什么的根本问题--藏品还是内容--本章建议如何将这些发展结合在一起，以促进以新的方式看待藏品，与一系列用户接触，并实现博物馆及其内容的全部潜力。

This chapter introduces a number of case studies demonstrating new and emerging practice around collections management. Starting with a brief overview of the emergence of digital collections management systems principally for internal inventory and audit purposes in the early 1970s, the chapter examines how museums have embraced new technologies to both improve internal management functions and to open up collections for greater engagement and interaction by users. Case studies of recent developments demonstrate the convergence of museum operations through a collections management system, for example the convergence of pest management and collections data. Another explores how collections data is repurposed through in-gallery interactives, mobile applications, and online access; and also the potential of online-only collections management systems and how the inclusion of user-generated content helps to reach new, and sometimes unexpected audiences. Finally, asking the fundamental question of what is being managed – collections or content – the chapter suggests how these developments can be brought together to contribute to new ways of looking at collections, engaging with a range of users, and realizing the full potential of museums and their content.
