There are over 30,000 images in the Pennsylvania Department's collection. A rudimentary plan pre-existed the construction of the exhibit. The Department had talked about doing a book utilizing the resources in the collection. The demands of design, organization, navigation, the capabilities of the technology, the demands of the content itself drive the ongoing exhibit as much as any kind of intentional plan imposed upon it. It is easier to talk about what remains to be done than what has already been done.
Web pages are fun.
They are the most incredible instant gratification. And what is more, they are the province of the amateur, that is, of the person who loves what they are doing. The other half of the story and why it is important for me to be speaking to you is that I am a librarian and believe it is critical for you to hear what I learned in the course of doing this marvelously open-ended project. I do not understand the distinction between these two terms. If the vision is viable and tough enough it finds and provides its own strategy.
