I am currently undertaking Masters research regarding the impact of the Internet on Museum public programs both on the Web and at the physical museum site. I would be extremely grateful if you would respond to the following survey questions. Please feel free to modify or ignore questions as appropriate to you. I will be making a summary of the results and will send a copy to all participants.
