i was in liverpool yesterday to visit the national museum and how they utilise ICT in there galleries. i had the pleasure of being shown around by the New Media Manager. As the national museum , liverpool is funded directly by the government it means that a lot of the systems that they have in place and maintained internally which help to employ standards and any branding used, which is in contrast to how a lot of regional museums operate.
as i have said i enjoyed the day immensely, especially as i was able to do some of the reading in the thick envelope that came with the course an it was useful because i was able to focus, but while reading some of the printouts i was part way regreting not bring my laptop so that i could create some of the accounts mentioned.
in reading i was also reflecting on how i had started to use web 2.0 technology before it was being called that ie sharing the birth of my son with the friends and family over 7 years ago via yahoo photos now flickr and collecting bookmarks and sharing with yahoo bookmarks now My Web2.0
The image is a floor plan within the museum, which i think makes finding things very easy?
