Importance of Secondary Documentation in Ethnographic Museums

Tamara Nikolić Đerić ; Ethnographical Museum of Istria, Pazin, Croatia

Abstract

Issues of information literacy and human factor and establishment of standards for
the processing of secondary documentation
The work questions several basic issues connected to information system for the processing
of secondary documentation, stressing also the importance of human factor
and knowledge management in creating a data base. The move of ethnographic
museums towards intangible culture and heterogeneity of material objects in connection
with inadequate information literacy and the system of secondary documentation
which is still under development, threaten with inadequate processing of material
that is, for several reasons, essential for the realisation of the contemporary roles
of ethnographic museums. Besides conceptual problems, the work also brings a view
on the technical issues related to information systems for the processing of secondary
documentation.
