Dear MCN members, We are delighted to announce that the MCN Board has authorized the creation of a new special interest group (SIG). This new SIG will focus on metrics and evaluation, allowing MCN members to exchange research (results and methodology) and share questions regarding all manner of quantitative and qualitative metrics and evaluation of on-line museum content. Areas of particular interest are user feedback analysis, Web server log analysis and user consultation and participation. The Metrics and Evaluation (ME) SIG endeavors to develop “best practices” and further the knowledge and expertise of participants as a result of pooling our experience.
During the ME SIG's infancy, Kati Geber, Manager of Research and Business Intelligence, and Kim L. Gauvin, Audience and Programs Analyst, both of CHIN, will co-chair. However, it is hoped that someone with a keen interest in this area will come forward to take over as chair within the coming months. All those interested in participating in the Metrics and Evaluation SIG should contact Kati Geber ([email protected]) or Kim L. Gauvin ([email protected]) at the Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN) at (819) 994-1200 or 1 800 520-2446. Expressions of interest will be collected and a meeting organized for the MCN conference to be held in Boston.
