I flew into Houston, Texas yesterday for the 21st Annual Visitor Studies Association conference. This is my first time in Space City, as well as the Lone Star State, for that matter. This morning, I presented a workshop with Jes Koepfler, a fellow Museum Studies grad and my “partner in crime” on the Mischief & Malice: Crime in the Museum online exhibition project (we co-managed this project put together by the University of Toronto’s Master of Museum Studies Class of 2008 using a wiki). Appropriately, we presented Using Wikis for Project Management.

There's been a change in the program for the "Beyond Single Repositories" Session on Thursday afternoon, chaired by Ross Parry. The session will now be as follows:

Papers for Museums and the Web 2008 are in production now and will start going up on the site within the next week. If you are an author, watch your in-box for a message to review your text. If you are a co-author, the message will go to the person who submitted the paper for your group. They will be asked to compile responses and send them back as one.

We'll assume all is ok if we don't hear from you ;)

Thanks for your quick turnaround. We need your help getting the papers up before the meeting!
