The Cultural Resource Management Program at the University of Victoria
offers the following intensive, hands-on course for museum and heritage
professionals
 
 
EXPLORING THE INTERNET
The research, communication and programming capabilities of the Internet
hold tremendous potential for museums and other heritage agencies. If
you have access to a modem and are intrigued by museums' growing
presence on the Internet, this two-day workshop provides a hands-on
introduction to the concepts and practical knowledge that you require to
access and use this powerful network. Using the University's Macintosh
Laboratory, we will explore the following topics:
o gaining access
o making use of communications tools, including electronic mail, bulletin
boards, and lists
o searching for information using Web browsers such as Mosaic and
MacWeb
o posting information on the World Wide Web and other information
servers
o emerging technologies and uses, including hypertext and multi-media
o potential research and educational uses
o issues of access, privacy, and copyright
 
Dates: February 23 & 24
 
Instructor: Cliff Quinn draws on his experience as the Coordinator of the
British Columbia Museums Association's Dogwood Network to explain the
technical aspects and potential uses of the Internet.
