LEARNING, SHARING, AND COLLABORATING: CHIN’S EXPERIENCE

Patricia Young ; Informacijska mreža Kanadskog naslijeđa, Kanada

Abstract

Learning, sharing, and collaborating are terms that the Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN) uses to describe audience behaviour and interaction with the Virtual Museum of Canada
(www.virtualmuseum.ca). In turn, learning, sharing, and collaborating aptly describes the fundamental working model for CHIN, a network of over 1,000 member museums from across Canada. This presentation will provide an overview of CHIN’s business model, built around the concept of use and reuse of information through Web services that incorporate the principles of user-centred design. DeÞ ning our audiences and understanding
their needs and their behaviors in a digital environment has resulted in studies and research that will be brieß y discussed. Examples of how CHIN delivers “learning, sharing, and collaborating”
with its public audiences and its network of heritage professionals will be provided in this presentation. Conclusions will summarize some
keys to success based on CHIN’s experience.
