Dear Matthew, Thanks for clarifying - do you know if there is more information about the MA conference online yet? BTW I actually think its great that there are all these events now about Museums and web issues! The more these get discussed, the better! regards Paul -- Paul Groves, Project Manager The Yousef Jameel Online Centre for the Study of Islamic and Eastern Art Dept. of Eastern Art, Ashmolean Museum Beaumont Street, Oxford, OX1 2PH.

I do apologise for the confusion, and equally for the name, which I promise I didn't come up with. I will think of a better one. The MA conference is intended to be a look at a number of different aspects of how a museum is part of / on the web, aimed at a different audience to the usual UKMW one, who are perhaps more advanced/specialist. UKMW organisers and I have discussed and we're cool about the difference - but it seems that we still need to work on setting the two apart. > > Cheers, > Matthew > Head of Web | Department of Learning and Audiences| The British Museum | www.britishmuseum.org | > > -----Original Message----- > From: Museums Computer Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Paul Groves > Sent: 29 January 2009 10:23 > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: UK MW 2009 - date not confirmed yet > > Apologies if I confused people, I was referring to the one-day Museums Association-run conference, "World wide wonder: Museums on the Web", scheduled for 10 June at the V & A, referred to in the their Events guide for April-June 2009, though there appears to be no information about this on the Museums Association website yet (this only goes up to March). The similarity of event names is indeed confusing... > > regards > > Paul > > On Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 11:36 PM, Jon Pratty <[log in to unmask]> wrote: >> Tony >> >> Hi there - thanks for asking about UK Museums on the Web 2009! >> >> Planning is taking place right now but no date has yet been set for >> the conference. >> >> I'm not sure which conference Paul Groves is referring to; I thought >> it important to point out that it's not UKMW 09, before eager MCG >> members pop the wrong date in their diaries. >> >> We'll update you all as soon as the date is decided upon.
