CALL FOR PARTICIPATION. Deadline: September 30, 2007.

You are invited to participate in the twelfth 
annual Museums and the Web Conference.

Museums and the Web addresses the social,

heritage on-line. Taking an international 
perspective, the MW program reviews and analyzes 
the issues and impacts of networked cultural, 
natural and scientific heritage.

Proposals are invited from professionals and 
researchers in all areas actively exploring the 
creation, on-line presentation and use of 
cultural, scientific and heritage content, and 
its re-use and evaluation.

MW is very international; the 2007 conference
