Museum Computer Network November 5 - 8
It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the 31st annual meeting of the Museum Computer Network. MCN2003: ìBalancing Museum Technology and Transformationî takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada from November 5 through the 8th.
Workshops, Sessions and More
Register online at www.mcn.edu to participate in four days of workshops, sessions and free-form discussions delving into every aspect of cultural heritage information management. Whether youre trying to develop an Intellectual Property policy for your institution, learn about the latest imaging technology from industry leaders, or explore the possibilities of building integrated library/museum/archival systems, this is the place to be. The MCN meeting is where museum technologists go to get the information they need and build the bridges they want to other professionals in the cultural heritage arena. Learn about the new technologies available and then see them in our tightly-focused Exhibition Hall.
Balancing Museum Technology and Transformation
As a challenging economic year for all, especially those of us in the museum and cultural heritage sector draws to a close, we want you to join us in looking ahead to a brighter future. In keeping with our theme weve asked our contributors to look at how the technology were busy implementing is changing the way we work, how our institutions are being transformed by those technologies and how that transformation can be managed. Were offering a program that is both diverse and comprehensive.
