The World Wide Web and the Virtual Library museums pages

European Review, 1997, vol. 5, issue 1, 89-104

Abstract: The World Wide Web (WWW) has been expanding exponentially since it was launched. It provides a unifying way to navigate and present information around the world in seconds using the Internet computer network. Many types of organization have been caught up in the revolution and are struggling to cope with the effects and keep pace with the development of the technology. One such community is that of museums. This paper presents the way museums are currently using the Web internationally, and how their use could develop in the future. Included is a description of the Virtual Library museums pages (VLmp), a leading directory of online museums, recently adopted by the International Council of Museums. Some of the ‘virtual’ visitor statistics are also presented and discussed.
