Anne,

You may want to get in touch with Helen McCorry or Ian O. Morrison of
the National Museums of Scotland ([log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]
respectively).  Their work on the "Catechism Project" is a rare
example of looking at museum information from the demand side
(audience enquiries/needs).

> Has anyone conducted specific market research into audience needs for
> museum data and information and if so:
> - what prompted you,
> - what was involved,
> - what impact has it had on how you provide access to museum information
> and data.
