Introduction
Professionals from museums, galleries and cultural organizations,
as well as consultants and technologists from around the world attended
the only International Conference in 1998 focused on Museums and
the Web. Last
year over 400 participants came to Los Angeles to hear reports
and analysis by over 50 speakers from 11 countries. This year an
even more extensive program featured over 100 speakers and demonstrators
from 20 countries.
The Program
Three days of conference sessions (April 23-25, 1998)
explored issues and controversies, highlighted museum applications,
and took an in-depth look at particular uses of the Web at exceptional
museum sites. Commercial Exhibitors demonstrated new technologies
and services. Pre-conference events included behind-the-scenes visits
to Toronto museums and a series of detailed workshops for museum
professionals. The full program, and papers are included here.
