Museums and cultural organizations have tacitly and enthusiastically
accepted their place in the tangle of the WWW. Few people question the
value the WWW has for disseminating our valuable information and getting
our important message out.
What is the reality of the business case for the investment in this
technology? What are the benefits, and, in the language of the technology,
what is the Cost of Owernship, and Return on Investment? In 1996 the
BC Museums Association did a survey looking for the answers to these
questions. This year the survey will be updated to look for new examples
of institutions obtaining tangible benefits from their involvement
in the WWW in particular, and the Internet in general. This paper
will present an analysis of the results of these surveys, along with
the experience of the BC Museums Association on the 'Net. A bookmark
list of sites that provide good and bad examples of use of the medium
will be provided and used during this session.
