AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF MUSEUMS CONFERENCE: SCHEDULE AVAILABLE
May 10-14, Los Angeles, CA
<http://www.aam-us.org/98Directory.htm>
Monday May 11:
FINDING NEW WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER: THREE WEB-TEAM MODELS
--"As the World Wide Web rapidly gains popularity in the museum world,
staff members have devised innovative approaches to the challenges of
creating and maintaining their sites. This session will present three
models of developing "Web Teams" -- groups of individuals with different
skills who work together to support Web sites. The panelists will summarize
how and why they organized their teams, how team members work together, and
how successfully they have met project goals for their Web sites. The
speakers will provide other institutions with guidelines for developing
their own Web Teams."
Tuesday May 12:
DIGITAL MEDIA IN MUSEUMS: PREPARING FOR THE POST-HYPE ERA
--"What if the widespread hype over the Internet, CD-ROMs,
videoconferencing, and other digital media were to die down? Would museum
educators and exhibit developers continue to find them valuable? This
session will further the discussion about which applications of computer
technology make sense in museum learning environments and which do not.
Panelists will offer examples from their work and then encourage discussion
on related issues: Which applications of technology support visitors'
direct experience with objects, artwork, or nature? How can museums use
digital media to support interaction among visitors? How can computers
illuminate aspects of physical exhibits that otherwise would not be seen or
heard? This session is based on case studies in the Journal of Museum
Education on digital media in museums."
THE VIRTUAL AND THE REAL: THE MUSEUM - TECHNOLOGY INTERSECTIONTHE VIRTUAL
AND THE REAL: THE MUSEUM - TECHNOLOGY INTERSECTION
--"New media can broaden, deepen, and change the relationships among
museum, visitor, and object. This presentation will explore practical and
philosophical implications of the intersection of museums and technology.
Discussion will focus on the various roles that media can play in
exhibitions; audience and evaluation; and how museums can employ media to
help visitors build meaning, deepen their relationships to the museum, and
better understand their relationship to human culture. The three panelists
and the session chair wrote chapters in The Virtual and the Real, an AAM
publication about museums in the information age. Panelists and session
attendees will discuss how media can help museums build meaning, support
interpretive goals, and make connections with visitors."
THE USE OF DISTANCE LEARNING WITH MUSEUMS
--"This session will examine how distance learning offers museums a wide
array of opportunities for outreach to local, regional, national, and
international communities. Museums and cultural and scientific agencies use
a variety of technologies -- including satellite, cable, public television,
ITFS, Internet and the World Wide Web -- to provide their resources to
underserved students, parents, and teachers across the U.S., allowing them
to develop new understanding and skills. Session attendees will learn about
test projects using museums that are employing a full range of the latest
technologies."
Wednesday May 13:
INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM AND THE INTERNET
--"The promise of the Internet - open access and freely exchanged
information - has clashed often and vociferously with the reality of
community values and local cultures. In 1997, the Supreme Court protected
the rights of free speech on the Internet, but cultural institutions
continue to struggle with Internet-related issues. Can cultural
institutions provide full service to adults while protecting the minors who
also use their services? How can an institution protect a donor's privacy
in cyberspace, and how does this concern affect ongoing donations? What are
the legal responsibilities for museums? Panelists with experience in
libraries, museums, and the law will address these and other issues."
NEXT STEPS, VERSION 2.0: EXPANDING WEB SITES AND OTHER INTERACTIVE PROGRAMS
--"This panel will discuss directions museums are taking to expand their
programmatic use of interactive technologies, particularly their Web sites.
This session moves beyond previous presentations on program development to
focus on museum philosophies, priorities, interpretive needs, and audience
responses, with emphasis on Web-delivered programs. Panelists will provide
insight into the reasons for embarking on new Web programs or choosing to
focus on existing ones. They will also discuss the relationships between
interactive programming for on-site use by museum visitors and those
developed for distant audiences."
THE WIRED MUSEUM
-"This session goes beyond the book by the same title published by AAM in
April 1997, exploring issues identified in the book and examining solutions
to problems that have been proposed or explored in the last year. The book
discussed emerging technologies like the Internet, the World Wide Web, and
digital imaging, and how they are changing the way we work. The session
will focus on three areas: image licensing, training in the area of
information technology for museums, and the steady flow of new information
technologies into the workplace. Panelists will present an overview of
these issues and will discuss the latest developments and options.
BRINGING THE COMMUNITY INTO THE COLLECTIONS
--"This session will present several projects that have adapted a variety
of media and technologies to take museum collections and educational
experiences outside the museum's walls and into diverse neighborhoods.
Panelists from an art museum, a history museum, and a public library will
use their projects to provide insight into a broad discussion on the nature
of the conference theme. To bridge the differences between institution and
community, each of these institutions invited specific audiences to
actively participate in the development of programs. This session will
discuss the different processes, the benefits (to both public and
institution), and the problems associated with this approach. It will
introduce delegates to innovative yet cost-effective programs, and it will
use these examples to help explore the philosophical issues that surround
the relationship between museums and their audiences, and the opportunities
that media present to enhance this relationship."
CULTURAL NETS AND DIGITAL COMMUNITIES: EXPLORING DIFFERENCES AND FINDING
CONNECTIONS ON-LINE
In 1995, The Getty Information Institute initiated a project to build an
on-line community network linking arts and cultural information acrossthe
southern California region. Called "Los Angeles Culture Net," the project
incorporates the perspectives and resources of its key constituents:
schools, libraries, museums, universities, local government, and
businesses, as well as artists, musicians, and writers. The project links
key information about cultural resources in Los Angeles and connects
cultural institutions with each other through the World Wide Web. A unique
aspect of the initiative is the "Faces of L.A.," virtual database that
provides research access to the collections of 19 institutions with
information about the culture and history of southern California. The panel
offers insight on how this innovative project uses technology to connect
people and build a community.
Thursday May 14:
PROVIDING INTEGRATED DIGITAL ACCESS TO DIVERSE COLLECTIONS: CASE STUDIES
--"Original letters, photographs, oral history interviews, home movies,
paintings-- all are examples of primary source materials in museum
holdings. Because museums can contextualize and authenticate primary
content, they play important roles as information providers. It is
difficult for many museums to present in a standardized way primary
information from a variety of media such as artworks, sound recordings,
moving images, artifacts, photographs, and manuscripts. This session will
explore how museums are providing integrated digital access to such diverse
collections materials. Panelists will discuss the methodology adopted by
their institutions to achieve the goal of integrated access to primary
source materials. They will address issues of prioritizing collections for
digitization and finding the most effective means for describing and
delivering digital versions of primary materials for use by museum
audiences.
AUTHORS, OWNERS, AND USERS: MUSEUMS AND THE FAIR USE DOCTRINE Over the last
three years, museums have been active participants in the Conference on
Fair Use (CONFU), which brought together copyright owners and users to
develop guidelines for fair use of copyrighted work in the digital
environment. Legal experts in the museum field will provide an overview of
copyright law and the fair use doctrine for museums, a critique of the
proposed digital images guidelines, and provocative insight on the broader
legal and public policy implications surrounding the CONFU and the fair use
debate. Steps that museums can take to become more actively engaged in the
public policy process on the issue will also be highlighted.

Convergence in the Digital Age: Challenges for Libraries, Museums and
Archives.
Seminar, Thursday 13 - Friday 14 August, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
On 13 and 14 August 1998, a seminar on "Convergence in the Digital Age:
Challenges for Libraries, Museums and Archives" will be held with
support of the European Union, in Amsterdam. The seminar is a satellite
event of this year's IFLA General conference which takes place in
Amsterdam from 16 to 21 August 1998.
Libraries, museums and archives are all increasingly dealing with
documents, publications and information in electronic form. This new
environment is obliging them to confront digitisation, archiving,
preservation, new users services and new economic models in a complex
legal framework.
The seminar is hence a unique opportunity for those interested in the
fields of libraries, museums or archives to share their experiences of
handling digital information and to discuss common issues and
challenges. It also aims at providing new ideas for the definition of
strategies for co-operation in a digital environment.
The seminar is organised in 6 main thematic sessions:
I. The Organisation of Knowledge in a Digital Environment
II. The Citizen's Access to the Digital Heritage
III. New Services in their Legal Context
IV. The Future of the Digital Present
V. Converging Technologies and Standards for Digital Collections
VI. Strategic Issues in Research and Technological Development
These themes will be illustrated by presentations of ongoing projects.
Most of these projects are sponsored by the European Commission.
The full programme is to be published within a few weeks.
Organising committee:
* Ms. Concha Fernández de la Puente, European Commission DGXIII/E-4, Luxembourg
* Prof. Dr. Eric Ketelaar, Professor of Archival Science at the
Universities of Leyden and Amsterdam, The Netherlands
* Dr. Christian Lupovici, Member of the IFLA Section on Information
Technology and librarian of the University of Marne-la-Vallée, France
* Dr. Maria Vittoria Marini-Clarelli, Ministero per i Beni Culturali e
Ambientali, Italy
* Mr. B. Rugaas National Librarian, National Library of Norway, Norway
* Dr. Juan Zozaya, Subdirector of the Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Spain
* Mr. Johan van de Walle, Secretary of the National Focal Point for the
Telematics for Libraries programme in the Netherlands, The Netherlands
The seminar will be held in one of the most attractive and historical
buildings of Amsterdam. Once the residence of an important trading
family, it is now the seat of the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences.

COMPUTERS AND THE HUMANITIES
Volume 31 No. 2 1997
The most recent issue of Computers and the Humanities includes a
special section entitled "Debates in Humanities Computing". This
issue's debate addresses a fundamental question underlying work on
automatic word sense disambiguation: the viability of definitively
distinguishing senses of polysemous words. Yorick Wilks, a well-known
researcher in the area of automatic sense disambiguation and
computational semantics, presents his view of word senses which
supports the viability of current approaches to automatic word sense
disambiguation. An opposing position is taken by lexicographer Adam
Kilgarriff, who argues that definitive sense division is so difficult,
even for humans, as to be virtually impossible, and describes an
empirical study supporting his claim.
