I don't think news of the launch of this report to government has
specifically reached this list.
A Netful of Jewels: New Museums in the Learning Age, a report from the
National Museum Directors' Conference, was launched on Monday.
The report, the writing of which was led by co-editors Suzanne Keene, Bruce
Royan and David Anderson, sets out a vision and outline agenda and funding
requirements for the development of museums online. There is considerable
emphasis on learning, and David and I in particular have tried to build in
ideas about the social and participative nature of museums online to
complement the important dimension of access to collections-related
information.
Sophie Sutherland at the V&A is rapidly running out of the initial print
run, but there is a pdf version on the V&A website available from
http://www.vam.ac.uk/index1.html (currently mistitled, I think!).
