I'm interested in finding some examples of how museums are including CSCW technologies in their work. Exhibit production was some of the most collaborative work I've done in museums - it involved coordinating curators, librarians, mount makers, designers, fabricators, electricians, construction contractors, educators, computer developers, video editors, etc. Often we had teams of people working across hundreds of miles. We did this through lots of face-to-face meetings, telephone calls and lots of revisions to paper documents, plans, etc. Are people using wikis to collaboratively edit exhibition labels and text? Shared online workspaces to comment on design drawings? Are staff using services like del.icio.us, furl, or magnol.ia to share their online research? Using IM to keep in touch with team members for rapidly evolving plans?
