We are going to start to test the waters later this month, when we include the following two questions in our periodic visitor surveys: 1. Did you use a computer to "visit" this museum's World Wide Web site before coming here today? YES NO 2. If you DID "visit" us via the World Wide Web, to what extent did that experience influence your decision to come here today? NO INFLUENCE AT ALL LITTLE INFLUENCE SOME INFLUENCE IT MADE ME DECIDE TO COME HERE Now, these are pretty basic questions and they will yield limited data, but they will give us a starting point to help us decide whether further research might be worthwhile. We will have to ask these questions repeatedly, given the comparatively recent establishment of our WWW site, which will nbo doubt be a factor in its relative influence (if any) on physical visits. When we have sufficient useful data, I will post the results to MUSEUM-L. Harry Needham Canadian Museum of Civilization Corp.
