As a museum studies graduate student, I find the use of the Internet by Museums a controversial subject. Having spoken with working professionals who feel threatened by the "invasion" of the net into certain areas, I wonder if this feeling is widespread. Do people feel that the value of their collections is diminished by online exhibits? Are these images felt to potentially reduce attendance? Is it threatening to allow net access to collections/cataloging information? Are there potential security problems by placing such information on the uncontrolled user access Internet? Any information or references would be appreciated
