Support the Learner: What, Where, When and WhoSupported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services
Five ideas . . .
1. Understanding means knowing the context.
2. Using internet resources should be like using a library reference collection?
3. Find context of any museum object, document, or performance: What is related to it in: what it is, where it came from, when it originated, and who associated with it?
4. WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, and WHO as a useful structure.
5. Make better use of existing descriptive metadata.
