There's a good introduction to this topic, covering some aspects of advocacy, and with examples at www.museumscomputergroup.org.uk/meetings/4-2006-docs/MA_conference_prese ntation.ppt Andy Sawyer Simulacra -----Original Message----- From: Museums Computer Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Dicken, Jude Sent: 26 July 2007 08:57 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: E-commerce in Digital Images & Collections Online: Business Evidence Hello, Is recent evidence available which clearly demonstrates the power of e-commerce in relation to the supply of digital images and other digital resources through web collections online? Of those museums/heritage organisations which are currently generating income through the online sale of digital resources/prints on demand, have any provided a statement on - the level/scale of business - average income generated Apologies for the general nature of this enquiry but the supply of facts and figures of this kind I think helps build a strong revenue and sustainability argument for any collections online project. (I'm happy to summarise findings for the list with the permission of respondents.) Many thanks, Jude.
