  • 1.  Technology Assessment RFP Examples

    Posted 10-10-2015 08:23 AM

    Hello,

    Our IT Department is working on developing a 3-5 year technology plan/strategy that would include basic infrastructure as well as programmatic and collection needs within our Library & Archives and Collection departments. Does anybody know of any resources or examples that would be useful in helping to form or write an RFP for a Technology Assessment?

    Dr. Kiersten Latham and I wrote an introductory textbook called "Foundations of Museum Studies: Evolving Systems of Knowledge," based on an introductory course in museum studies that we teach. Our book was written to be the textbook that we both wish we had had when we were beginning museum studies graduate students. The book is designed to be used with other readings (we use it along with "Museums in Motion," 2008, by Alexander and Alexander and an ever-changing variety of journal articles). You can find out more about the book here:

    It is available from the publisher, from Amazon.com, and other book sellers, both as a print book an an ebook.

    Daniel,

    Attached are a couple examples from the public domain that I have used in the past for development ideas.  The Fashion Institute one was recently released.

    Hope this helps.

    I would encourage you to include knowledge of Accessibility requirements. It is amazing how few people working as consultants in this industry follow the legal requirements or understand the finer points of technology access, all of which is infinitely easier when it is built in rather than added.

    Best,

    Hannah

    Hi Daniel,

    While I'm not your best source for technology information, I specialize in writing RFPs and would be happy to give you some tips on the phone or via email.  You might also try reading the "Exhibitionist" edition by NAME which specialized in RFPs:
