Twenty-five museum professionals, academics, researchers, media design specialists and consultants contribute 18 chapters offering museum professionals, museology scholars and museum studies students an in-depth investigation into how and why museums are experimenting with new technology. The authors explore a wide range of concepts about the digital museum from exhibition experiences and online tools to the strategic integration of technology into daily operations and new business models — demonstrating the increasing need for the integration of technology into today's museum training programs.
