  • AMERICAN ART MUSEUMS on the WEB by Jeannette Dixon and Ana Christina Barata
    INSPEL 33(1999)4, pp. 209-214 AMERICAN ART MUSEUMS ON THE WEB* By Jeannette Dixon and Ana Christina Barata There are 1620 art museum in the U.S. today, according to the Official Museum Directory, published by the American Association of Museums. Over half of them have Websites. However, only a few of the top museums have Internet access museumwide for the staff. According to Kathy Jones-Garmil in her book, The Wired Museum, we still have a long way to go before most of the world’s museums are on-line. The expense of maintaining a lively and up-to-date site presents a significant investment for any organization. A budget for its continued development needs to be made on an annual basis. Unless a Website is updated on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, information goes out of date and turns off users who depend on accurate, current information. The Worldwide Web came into being in 1994. The Web offered the ability to show images and text over the Internet. There was an explosion of interest in developing Web pages, and many art museums made their first Web page, trying to reach this new audience. An enthusiastic museum staff member who had some familiarity with the Internet, and who wanted to promote their institution usually created these Websites. It was exciting, because Web page publishing was instantaneous, giving the creator a sense of instant gratification. There was a great spirit of cooperation among the early Webmasters; little was written about how to create a museum "homepage." There was no software in the beginning to aid in building a Web page; each tiny element had to be individually coded.

In addition to examples of practice, editors Alison Boyle and Johannes-Geert Hagmann have invited prominent historians and cura- tors to reflect on the nature of recent scientific and technological heritage, and to challenge the role of museum collections in the twenty-first century. Challenging Collections will certainly be part of an ever-evolving dialogue among communities of collectors and scholars seeking to keep pace with the changing landscapes of sci- ence and technology, museology, and historiography.

  • Virtual Museums and Archaeology: an International Perspective
    Archeologia e Calcolatori Supplemento 1, 2007, 15-30 VIRTUAL MUSEUMS AND ARCHAEOLOGY: AN INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE 1. VIRTUAL MUSEUMS: THE CONCEPT Although a familiar concept for most people, defining a museum is not a straightforward affair and the internationally accepted definition, included in the statutes of ICOM (International Council for Museums), has undergone several changes since the foundation of this organization. A lively debate has taken place concerning the role of museums, the characteristics an institution must have to be deemed as such and the activi- ties a museum is expected to carry on. This discussion has been revived by the introduction of the dot-museum domain, in particular regarding the po- sition of virtual museums in this community. The present paper is not going to contribute further to the debate, in which experts of museology, heritage professionals and museum curators have had so much to say. Nonetheless, it will be necessary to examine the current official definitions to understand the impact of technology on the exhibition of archaeological artifacts and the explanation of archaeological sites. According to the current definition1, a museum is an «… institution in the service of society and of its development, and open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits, for purposes of study, educa- tion and enjoyment, material evidence of people and their environment». The above sequence of activities, from acquisition to exhibition, reflects the history of the concept of museum, possibly establishing a priority, or just following the stages of the pipeline of cultural communication based on material objects. National definitions of museum are usually based on the previous one, with different stress on some of the activities.

Oates Professor Fred J. Looft This report represents the work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, please refer to http://www.wpi.edu/academics/ugradstudies/project-learning.html Abstract This project provided Museums Victoria with data on visitors’ current uses of mobile devices in the Melbourne Museum and their interest in mobile technology, and gave recommendations for further integrating these devices. Through visitor observations and exit surveys, data showed that visitors were generally interested in engaging with technology and commonly used their devices to take pictures, especially of family members and the dinosaur exhibit. We recommended that the museum create an interactive digital map accessible via a mobile device, advertise the free Wi-Fi, and explore the implementation of an augmented reality photo booth and a scavenger hunt application. This study will allow Museums Victoria to further the development of mobile technology to enhance the visitor experience. i Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction ..................................................................................................................

  • 1 Museum Informatics Across the Curriculum: Ten Years of Preparing LIS Students for Careers Transcending Libraries, Archives, and Museums
    Museum informatics across the curriculum: Ten years of preparing LIS students for careers transcending libraries, archives, and museums Paul F. Marty, Ph.D. School of Library and Information Studies College of Communication and Information Florida State University 240 Louis Shores Building Tallahassee, FL 32306-2100 Email: [email protected] Michael B. Twidale, Ph.D. Graduate School of Library and Information Science University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 501 E. Daniel Street Champaign, IL 61820-6211 Email: [email protected] Abstract Library and Information Science (LIS) students are increasingly interested in pursuing careers that transcend traditional boundaries between libraries, archives, and museums. To help students achieve these goals, the LIS programs at the University of Illinois and Florida State University have offered courses on museum informatics—the sociotechnical interactions between people, information, and technology in museums—since 2001 and 2003 respectively. An examination of the evolution of these courses over the past decade provides a unique opportunity to explore their relevance and value to LIS students, their ability to meet student needs and educational goals, and their integration into the LIS curriculum. Through a content analysis of course syllabi and assignments, this article examines how the teaching of museum informatics in LIS programs has evolved in response to course evaluations and research publications documenting the changing nature of information work in museums. It discusses key milestones in the evolution of the course from examining museums as a unique information organization to helping students acquire the knowledge they need to work across all types of cultural heritage institutions. Key Words Museum informatics; cultural heritage organizations; information professionals; course development and evolution; content analysis; transcending libraries, archives, and museums.
