for those of you that are not familiar with the awards or the
conference. I am not associated with the conference, so please don't

Museums and the Web Conference: March 14-17, 2001
Museums and the Web 2001
March 14-17, 2001
http://www.archimuse.com/mw2000/
Its time to plan for the development of your website. Thousands of cultural
heritage institutions are now online, presenting programs and delivering
information on the world wide web. But museums, libraries and archives have
much to learn about what makes web sites successful. To facilitate this
exchange of information, Archives & Museum Informatics organizes an annual
international conference devoted exclusively to Museums and the Web.
Workshops
Full and half day workshops precede the conference on March 14, and allow
in depth exploration of topics and themes. If you are just venturing out
onto the net or are a seasoned cybersurfer, there is a workshop for you. A
Preconference tour on March 13 will allow a limited number of people to get
a first hand look at award-winning web development studios in Seattle.
Program
Speakers from around the world will present papers on the entire process of
web implementation. During the 3 days of the conference, beginners and
veterans can explore themes such as: design & development, implementation,
evaluation, site promotion, education, societal issues, research, museology
and curation. Sessions, papers, panels and up-close mini-workshops explore
theory and practice. The Exhibit Hall features hot tools, techniques and
services. Demonstrations of museum web sites will let you meet and question
designers and implementers of some of the coolest museums on the web.
The full program for Museums and the Web 2001, including paper abstracts
and speaker biographies, is on the conference web site at
http://www.archimuse.com/mw2001/. Before the conference begins, full papers
will be on the web so that speakers can highlight major issues and allow
more time for active discussion. Proceedings in print and on CD will also
be available at the conference.
