The Museum Computer Network is pleased to announce its 1998 conference.
MCN '98 Conference
September 23 - 26, 1998
Santa Monica, California, USA
Knowledge Creation-Knowledge Sharing-Knowledge Preservation
As modern cultures move rapidly from analog to digital media, atoms to
bits, the role of museums as preservers of artifacts becomes more
important. Information and communication technologies are important tools
for creating, sharing, and preserving cultural knowledge through the
presentation and representation of museum objects. Today, this includes
not just the atoms of real exhibitions, but the bits accessed by remote
visitors from classrooms and living rooms all over the world. Anyone
concerned with information technology and museums - educators,
registrars,curators, archivists, librarians, managers, designers, systems
analysts, writers, lawyers - will find MCN '98 a key professional event.
Technology, administration, legal issues, design concerns, research and
commercial implications will all be discussed from the perspective of
museum applications and the diverse audiences for which they are created.
