Please forgive cross-postings.

The June 2001 issue of eSpectra is now available. eSpectra, the online news portal from the Museum Computer Network, is updated monthly and includes time-sensitive information like event/conference announcements and job postings, as well as short features and late-breaking announcements. It is available at:

Spectra subscribers - be on the lookout for the Spring issue in your (physical) mailboxes!  This is an issue dedicated to Digital Libraries, containing articles on topics ranging from digital preservation to reports on collaborative library/museum projects.

For eSpectra to be a useful resource, I need to hear from the community about events and job postings in addition to the URLs of pages or sites with information of interest to the museum community. I am also always looking for new museum websites to include in the MCN site directory, currently listing over 1,500 museums sites worldwide.

MCN Special Interest Groups:  This is an excellent opportunity for you to disseminate resources of interest to your group or to a broader audience!

Cultural Heritage Organizations:  If your institution already has a page or a site devoted to a technology project that the community might be interested in, submit the URL to me for the community projects page on eSpectra.

Please submit material directly to me at [log in to unmask]
