As someone who has been on both sides of this coin, and who
has completely jumped the shark to the web side of things, this animation about
the traditional concerns many museum staff have about releasing content online
struck very, very close to home. Thankfully, my institution has made it a
priority to embrace digital collection accessibility, web culture, and non-traditional
research methods, so we don’t have to deal with this much, but it’s
certainly still present!
