Collaboration, Iteration, and Exchange: Academic Museums as Digital Laboratories
Friday, November 8, 2019
This professional forum will explore different types of academic museums as potential models for collaboration, iteration and public exchange. Digital roles in academic museums are highly collaborative while serving the needs of stakeholders from across their institutions. Participants from other types of museums can learn from how they operate as digital roles leverage their unique position in a broader organization. Academic museums are platforms for public interchange with a wide variety of disciplines, and they operate as “laboratories” of a sort in which digital roles are well suited to the “start small and scale up” models of development. The discussion applies to the conference theme as it focuses on digital roles in academic museums that are at the center of public interchange with a variety of disciplines. Digital roles in academic museums are uniquely positioned to collaborate with a variety of internal and external communities.
