AT THE PRESIDIO, a pilot program, is a way to explore the diverse cultural

that shed light on the shaping of America.

Subject: October 2001 Issue of eSpectra
Please forgive cross-postings.
The October 2001 issue of eSpectra is now available. eSpectra, the online
news portal from the Museum Computer Network, is updated monthly and
includes time-sensitive information like event/conference announcements and
job postings, as well as short features and late-breaking announcements. It
is available at:
http://www.mcn.edu/espectra/
For eSpectra to be a useful resource, I need to hear from the community
about events and job postings in addition to the URLs of pages or sites
with information of interest to the museum community. I am also always
looking for new museum websites to include in the MCN site directory,
currently listing over 1,500 museums sites worldwide.
MCN Special Interest Groups: This is an excellent opportunity for you to
disseminate resources of interest to your group or to a broader audience!
Cultural Heritage Organizations: If your institution already has a page or
a site devoted to a technology project that the community might be
interested in, submit the URL to me for the community projects page on
eSpectra.
Please submit material directly to me at [log in to unmask]
