Hi Amy,
You might want to check out the downloads that are available on Media and
Technology website (http://www.mediaandtechnology.org/panels/2006.html) from
this years AAM conference. There was at least one session on evaluation of
current technology. Also, there are some interesting thoughts on the new
Musematic blog ( http://www.musematic.net/) about the use and abuse of
handhelds session also at AAM.
Lastly a search on the Online Evaluation Resource Library

>
> In the last 5 years, we've seen an explosion in the ways we can

> etc. Has this changed visitors' expectation of multimedia in museums?
> Are they using older multimedia exhibits differently? Has the internet
> influenced the way visitors interact with multimedia exhibits in
> museums?

> 5 years ago, we were advised to avoid restart buttons and help buttons.
> For example, visitors would expect that the help buttons would explain
