[BCMA] Database survey

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi Anissa

 

This sounds like a great idea. As we do not use PastPerfect at Sidney Museum I will probably not be attending, but I am sure it will be beneficial for those that do.

 

Regards

 

Peter

Hello everyone-

I've been following this discussion thread with interest and I appreciate Peter's time in pulling the survey results together. 

 

If any of you are coming to the BCMA conference next week, our Birds of a Feather lunch meeting time (Wed, October 4, 12:00-1:30pm) might be a good opportunity PastPerfect users to get together over lunch and discuss what such a user group might look like, or how a group training opportunity might unfold.

 

Anyway - just a thought. If anyone is attending the conference and interested in meeting up with others interested in this area, let me know. I will put you down as a "host" for a PastPerfect Users lunch BoF group.

 

Thanks!
Anissa

I like the idea of a Past Perfect user group and maybe some shared training. Anyone want to coordinate?

There are likely about another 7 or 8 pastperfect users in BC in addition to the ones listed. Maybe we should have a user group and coordinate some training?
