[MCN-L] Small Museum SIG Meeting at MCN 2008 in Washington

[Farrell, David]

Hi All,

I would like to invite any delegates attending the MCN Conference in Washington who either work in a small museum or gallery, or have an interest in the problems faced by small museums trying to adopt various computer based technologies, to attend the Small Museum SIG meeting on Friday, November 14 from 12:00 - 1:30. The Farragut/Lafayette meeting room is reserved for our meeting, but we will probably meet there and move on to a restaurant.

The Small Museum SIG has become dormant in the last couple of years and I would like to revive it. A provisional Agenda for the meeting will be:

*       Adding new links and case studies to the Small Museum SIG page on the MCN website.
*       How can the Small Museum SIG be a resource for/help smaller institutions?
*       Choosing a vice-chair.

Also, the Small Museum SIG sponsored session at this year's conference is Technologies in Small Museums: Common Problems/Innovative Solutions, 1:30, on Thursday.

Even if you are unable to attend the SIG meeting but have an interest in the issues surrounding technology and small museums I look forward to talking to you at MCN 2008.
