Editor's Notes
- #2: True accessibility to a museum's collections in the 21 st century must involve electronic access to its documentation assets. Delivering this requires museums to identify and negotiate end user requirements, to re-purpose material, to maximise limited resources for content creation, and to develop the technology for capture and delivery. Where information lies in disparate systems, ways must be found of joining information sources to both maximise and simplify access to content. The V&A's experiences undertaking the Core Systems Integration Project, which initially aims to aggregate and deliver museum object, bibliographic and archival data, provide a useful example for others engaging with these issues.
- #3: The Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London is considered one of the world's greatest museum of art and design. The purpose of the V&A is to enable everyone to enjoy its collections and explore the cultures that created them; and to inspire those who shape contemporary design. All our efforts are focused upon a central purpose: the increased use of our displays, collections and expertise as resources for learning, creativity and enjoyment by audiences within and beyond the United Kingdom.
