Museums and the Web 1999, an international conference held March 11-14, 1999 in New Orleans, addressed many of the issues that museums are facing as they begin to place exhibits and programming on the Web. Those unable to attend the conference can still benefit from the 50+ presentation and demonstration papers now available on the Web. Some describe individual projects, such as "Beethoven Online" from Germany, while others might answer how-to questions for museums just venturing into the digital realm. Examples of paper topics include "The Use of FileMaker for Museum Databases," "Is the Web a Communication Tool or Digital Disneyland for Art Works?" and "Exploiting the Potential of 3D Navigable Virtual Exhibition Spaces." Abstracts are available for those papers that are not available online in full-text.
