Working out collections online – your questions?

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

I’ve been slowly putting together a list of research questions to try and tackle as I re-work our collections online (with our very own blogger, the transport curator David Rooney) and the ‘Online Stuff‘ section.  I’ll write up the process and my ideas as I go, but in the meantime – what’s your number one question about presenting museum collections online?  It could be ‘does x work better than y’, or ‘do people really want z’, or anything that’s been hanging around at the back of your brain. Leave a comment below or tweet @mia_out.

And speaking of collections online, check out the V&A’s Collections Search, just out in beta today.  There’s so much to explore and the interface is a delight.  Congratulations to all involved!
