With lockdown restrictions forcing museums to close, people have been in touch with us for advice about setting up Modes to work at home.

A NEW VERSION of Modes Complete is available now. We have been busy making improvements, fixing bugs and refining the program so that it’s more powerful and easier to use than ever before.

The Collections Trust conference: Dynamic information for dynamic collections took place online on 1-2 October, and Modes was represented in our own Zoom breakout room. Modes Board member Kirsty Bell shares her thoughts on the proceedings.

Although we have always valued our face to face training sessions, this way of learning about Modes will not be possible for the time being. But we have been busy creating fresh ways to deliver Modes training online and help you to get more out of your Modes.

With the upgrade for Modes Complete 1.5 now available, how do you know which version of Modes you’re using?

Thank you for taking the time to participate in the Modes Users survey.

Knowing where each and every item in your collection is at any given time is a fundamental collections management task.

Modes gives support for recording museum objects at the Inventory level, which can readily be expanded to catalogue records.
