Los Angeles, CA August 30, 2011) SydneyPLUS/Questor, aa veteran leader in collections management software for museums, is pleased to announce that the Oregon Historical Society (OHS) has selected the new ARGUS.net as the web interface/portal solution of choice. The new system will provide OHS staff with a new online collection management system, extend current research capabilities and promote the society’s valued collection to the public.
“OHS, a long time ARGUS client, highly valued the rich package of features and state-of-the-art SydneyPLUS KM technology that ARGUS.net offers,” said Candyce McDonald, Sales Account Manager. Teresa Ridgeway, ARGUS Consultant, added that “ARGUS.net, as a fully web-based product, will support the society’s ambitious strategic plans to bring the collection rapidly online and showcase it on the web.”
Over the past year, staff at the OHS have been attending all of the ARGUS.net information webinars and keeping a close eye on the course that the new ARGUS.net has been taking in its development. Some of the new features that were deciding factors for the OHS were:
Protected and secure access to online collection
Ever-current website content delivered from collection management system
Open-Flex configuration capabilities that adapt to unique staff and collection needs
Configurable reports that adapt to unique group or individual needs
Powerful web search engine with both simple and advanced features
OHS will be deploying the new ARGUS.net in two phases bringing the collection online for staff by end of 2011 and then launching it to the web via a new public facing portal in 2012. Furthermore, because the SydneyPLUS KM technology suite also has a library system that can integrate with ARGUS.net into an even larger solution package, a future possibility now finally exists of completely unifying all the society’s knowledge resources under one leading-edge technological umbrella.

Speaking Digitally About Exhibits
WHEN Bridget Oliveri, a 25-year-old medical student, was deciding where to take a visitor one recent evening, she dismissed the usual destinations for 20-somethings in Manhattan and Brooklyn in favor of the American Museum of Natural History. It wasn’t a tough sell. She had tickets for a private gathering with an after-hours tour of The Brain: The Inside Story, a chat with the curators over wine and cheese and a look at the labs and storage lockers where the museum’s scientists keep specimens and do their work.
The tickets were free — but with one hitch. They had to tweet about their visit...
