The National Museum Directors Conference has commissioned a report to
promote the role of museums in the rapidly emerging digital
environment.
The report has four specific objectives:
*to set out a vision of a digital world in which museums will be like
means not ends
*to specify the contribution that can be made by museums to the
development of a learning society in the UK and to identify how
museums can contribute to creativity in education and in the creative
economy
*to specify what is required to develop and support digital museums on
cultural networks and to identify funding needs and potential sources
*to set out an agenda for action.
An outline of the proposed report is available for
comment on the mda web pages at www.mda.org.uk/nmdc
