Use of ICT
Head Keeper
At Marwell, the animal keepers are the front line in gaining information on our animals – they deal with them every day, 365 days a year! The keepers have to fill in a Word report sheet at the end of each day, detailing anything that has happened with the animals that day.
Visitor Services Manager
At the entrance gate we use an EPOS (Electronic Point Of Sale) system. The tilling system has different buttons for each pricing structure. The tills produce a receipt for the customer (a legal requirement) and the information of the sale is logged in the system’s internal memory. All of the tills are linked to a central processing unit with operating system. At end of the day the daily sales figures from each till are collated by a central processing unit operating system and sent electronically, via a modem, to the main finance processing unit where the data is inputted into the appropriate database system software.
Press & Public Relations Officer
Communication is vital for P.R. so email and the internet are vital ICT resources.
Coordinator of Volunteers
One Database stores information for membership, adoptions and volunteers. The Coordinator of Volunteers may need to store information on each volunteer’s skills and the activities they carry out within the park.
Education Officer
Data storage of school addresses, telephone numbers, contact teacher’s name along with information on previous visits and the session they had last time. Interpretation and graphics around the park are produced using design packages.
