We're pleased to offer, as our first course of 2000, this innovative on-line
course in museum information management! Please contact us for further
information.
MUSEUM INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
Effective management of the wealth of museum information provides a
foundation on which strong collections, programs and relationships with
communities are built. This unique Internet-based course explores the
multi-layered nature of museum information, examines the ways in which it is
understood, organized, and accessed, and goes on to provide frameworks to
support systematic and integrated organization and management. You develop
your ability to:
* understand the fundamental importance of information to museums and
the range of perspectives that influence its value
* trace the philosophical, historical, and technological evolution of
museum information management and understand how this shapes how information
is gathered, structured, accessed and shared
* recognize the complex and interrelated types of information, using
the ICOM-CIDOC model
* understand the ways in which current and emerging technologies
enable museums to gather, manage and share this information
* recognize the importance of integrated approaches to information
management
* critically assess the information systems available to museums
* access resources and professional networks which support museum
information management

Comments from past participants:
". . . this course was well organized and implemented . . . the instructor's
sense of humour and personality reach right through the ether to grab my
attention."
"Other students' different perspectives in the course really gave it a
living dimenstion."
