Tell us what you think
As our 25th year of Museums Computer Group activity ends, we're now looking towards the future, and what sort of shape you would like the MCG to take.
As the museum and gallery sector opens up to new ways to meet audiences, new ways to allow access to searchers, and new horizons like the semantic web, the MCG committee think it's time to open up our plans and strategies to all our members.
If you think about it, the way people work together, think together and spark ideas off each other is changing rapidly right now. Many of us are on Facebook or LinkedIn - what sort of opportunities might sites and networks like these bring MCG? How can we truly make the group represent the excitement and feel of the 21st century digital world? Do you think we should still be publishing printed newsletters, or is the web a better place to find the published expertise and thinking of a respected professional organisation? Should MCG continue to plan regular meetings for members around the UK? Does our conventional committee structure really represent the sector and serve the membership?
We'd like you to tell us what you think about these issues, and anything else you feel would be constructive and helpful. Use this online form, or send an email directly to MCG Chair, Debbie Richards: DRichards@leics.gov.uk We'll be reporting survey results back to the membership at the Spring 08 MCG meeting - and also on this website.
