Dear MCN, My name is Richard Smith. I am a professor in the School of Communication at Simon Fraser University, in Vancouver. I have been working on a small project - sponsored by Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN) - to update what we know about mobiles and wireless technologies (hardware, software, applications, projects...) in museums.
I have been doing some interviews, and a literature review, but would welcome a chance to get updates on as many mobile / wireless projects that involve museums and galleries. Since many of you will be at MCN (and, sadly I won't be - although Sheila Carey from CHIN will be there) and perhaps thinking about mobile projects, perhaps you could take a few minutes to fill in this survey: https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=ppkLgpKY_guLZID1D7FNmSQ Once I get a few responses, I will make the results available via this list. I have also been collecting - via Delicious.com - a list of online resources. Any suggestions you have for that would be most welcome (via email or directly via delicious). The list is here: http://delicious.com/richard_k_smith/chin Finally, if you would be willing to be interviewed about your project, there is a box at the end of the survey that asks for an email address, or you can just send it directly to me (smith at sfu.ca). Thanks in advance for contributing to this project. -- Richard Smith, Professor, School of Communication Simon Fraser University, 515 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, CANADA V6B 5K3 Phone: 778 782 5116 Web: http://www.sfu.ca/~smith
