*Dear colleagues, we have been asked to communicate more details on the new online eZine "ExpoTime!". Here we are with the condensed FAQs: How often ExpoTime! will appear? ---------------------------------------- ExpoTime! is going to appear 4 times a year (another 2 times this year). In the moment, we are preparing the July issue. Will ExpoTime! have changing colums? ----------------------------------------------- No, with the exemption of "open positions", we change the topics, not the columns. The columns are: Top Interview Top story Shortcuts (news) Review of new museums New books (short reviews) Get together (conferences, fairs etc.) Repair your network! (persons and positions) New technologies Answers from colleagues ExpoTime for museums (new exhibitions) Illicit trade, faces and forgery Open extra-European positions What will be the character of ExpoTime!? ------------------------------------------------- We are ethically near ICOM, and like investigative journalism and the scientific approach. As we are going to publish a quality product, we are based on sober information. Why an eZine? ----------------- ExpoTime! is an "eZine" and is distributed online globally as eBook. This means: - eco friendliness - fast circulation - you can read older issues in our archive - you can print out single pages or the whole issue. Storing and passing the eBook directly to friends and colleagues is not possible. - you can make use of full text retrieval - you can zoom in and out or read zoomed pages - you can make use of integrated links in the ads and editorial part - you can make use of integrated videos for much more information (f.e. YouTube videos) - at reduced rates, we include newsletters - all you need for reading is an internet browser and a newer version of Adobe Flashplayer Who are the target groups of ExpoTime!? ------------------------------------------------- The magazine addresses all people working in museums, libraries, archives, science centers, planetaria, visitor attractions, botanical gardens and zoos: directors, the administration, curators, conservators, but also museum associations, architects, museologists, museum advisors and all kind of companies serving cultural institutions, academical organisations (museum studies!) and organizers of museum fairs as well. The magazine is interesting for anybody eager to learn from global museum trends or to reach the global museum world.
