Hello everybody! I am just writing my M.A.-thesis about the potentialities of hypermedia in archaeological museums. In my opinion interactive systems could provide another kind of access to the museum magazine. A lot of museums are already equipped with collection management databases. There is a lack of intelligent interfaces combining them with kiosk systems on the exhibition floor. The Virtual Magazine could avoid - problems of security - problems of bad storage conditions. Interactive systems are the only possibility for museums which can=B4t open their stores (by financial or spacial reasons for instance). Also the staff would be able to create thematic keys to put the visitor=B4s attention to special aspects of the magazine. I would be very happy to receive a lot of opinions. Also I am looking for informations about existing or planned virtual magazines and other interactive systems in archaeological museums all over the world. Thanks in advance, Martin Martin Kriszat (student of prehistory) Universitaet Hamburg Archaeologisches Institut Johnsallee 35 D-20148 Hamburg [log in to unmask]
