>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.
