I came across this announcement in a recent edition of CAM (California Association of Museums) e-news. Although the study was done in 2004, it looks like it wasn't released until January 2006. * * *
IMLS RELEASES STUDY ABOUT THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN MUSEUMS AND LIBRARIES As part of the Institute of Museum and Library Service's (IMLS) mandate to analyze needs and trends of museum and library services, they recently released a 2004 survey on the use of technology and digitization in the nation's libraries and museums. In 2001, IMLS conducted the first-ever study of the status of new technology adoption and digitization in the nation's museums and libraries. This second study seeks to dig deeper and find out more about how and why our cultural institutions use technology and digitize their collections. It explores barriers as well as capacity and planning issues.
