Hi Fiona
I'm the Digital Media Officer at RAMM in Exeter who Jim and Mike have mentioned (thanks chaps!).
We have worked with our local authority to create a digital presence, including a website, collections websites, social media free Wi-Fi and digital art in the museum.
What made the difference for us was having an external body provide a report on the potential for digital in the museum in 2007. That gave the museum the evidence to create my role and start the digital ball rolling.
There have been obstacles and any connecting to the council network is still a challenge to ensure security standards are met.
You're welcome to contact me off list.
Regards
Rick
