DESCRIPTION
FIN Conference 2010: Libraries and Museums in Virtual Worlds. Title: Libraries and Museums in the Cloud When everything moves into the cloud, what will happen to our libraries and museums? We adapted to technological and social media influences by creating online collections, social communities and virtual tours, yet need to preserve our literary, artistic and historical collections. What value do we place on these remarkable repositories and the sensory experiences that they offer? Join us as we explore the future of libraries and museums within virtual and current venues.
