Dear MCGers,
in the spirit of transparency (and cheap puns) I've posted about how
the conference themes were devised and the programme put together at
'Behind-the-themes' at the UK Museums on the Web conference - UKMW12
'Strategically Digital' http://bit.ly/TPUQ93
Cheers, Mia

> This presentation gives an overview of the goals we hope to achieve by

> objects. Collections represent knowledge about our history and

> Through a series of recent examples, I will look at how collections on

> collections and add content in new ways.
