Museums and the Web 2000 April 16-19, 2000 Minneaoplis, Minnesota, USA program now online at http://www.archimuse.com/mw2000 Thousands of cultural heritage institutions are now on the web, offering programs and sharing information. But museums, libraries, archives, academics and educators have much to learn about what makes web sites successful. And there is lots to be gained from a dialog among users and creators of cultural information online. To facilitate this exchange of information, Archives & Museum Informatics organizes an annual international conference devoted exclusively to Museums and the Web. MW2000 offers an international perspective; speakers and delegates from over 20 countries were represented last year in New Orleans. The full program for MW2000, including paper abstracts and speaker biographies, is now available at (http://www.archimuse.com/mw2000/). Before the conference begins, full papers will be on the web so that speakers can highlight major issues and allow more time for active discussion. About 150 papers given at three previous MW conferences are still available online. WORKSHOPS Full and half day workshops precede the conference on April 16, and allow in depth exploration of topics and themes. If you are just venturing out onto the net or are a seasoned cybersurfer, there is a workshop for you. A Pre-conference tour on April 15 allows a limited number of people to get a first hand look at award-winning web development studios in Minneapolis and St. Paul. PROGRAM Speakers from around the world will present papers on the entire process of web implementation. During the 3 days of the conference, beginners and veterans can explore themes including: design & development, implementation, evaluation, site promotion, education, societal issues, research, museology and curation. Sessions, papers, panels and up-close mini-workshops explore theory and practice. The Exhibit Hall features hot tools, techniques and services. Demonstrations of museum web sites will let you meet and question designers and implementers of some of the coolest museums on the web. DEMONSTRATIONS There's still space in the MW2000 Demonstration Hall. If you've got a hot new feature on your site, and you'd like a chance to show it off to your friends and colleagues, visit http://www.archimuse.com/mw2000/demos/ and make your proposal to demonstrate. The deadline is February 15, 2000. BEST OF THE WEB Once again, an international panel of judges will award the Best of the Web, to the museum or heritage site that best uses the web to meet its mission. Visit http://www.archimuse.com/mw2000/best/ to nominate your favourite site for consideration. (Judges are not eligible to win awards.)
