Museums and the Web 2008: links and resources
(Updated with added links to notes and slides [2008-04-15])
The Museums and the Web 2008 is currently drawing to a close. In three days there have been around 24 presentations and 15 workshops, as well as numerous mini-workshops and demonstrations. All in all, a lot to take in!
As a way of bringing together the links and resources that have been generated and talked about over the course of the conference, I've pulled together the link list below, which will be updated as I discover new notes and slides online (let me know in the comments if I've missed anything).
You can also follow my links tagged mw2008 on del.icio.us.
