ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

We are working on a grant proposal to fund Open Exhibits, a project  
that will allow us to develop, test, and disseminate three open source  
software templates.

These easy-to-use templates will allow museum professionals’ to  
assemble electronic exhibits for the museum floor. The Open Exhibits  
templates, as well as the source code, training opportunities, and  
prototype exhibits, will be made freely available to museums. The  
exhibits will be built using Adobe Flash (ActionScript 3 and Flex).

We are seeking feedback from museum professionals so we can tailor our  
project to meet the needs of the field. We have put together a survey  
to help us assess those needs: to gain insight into the state of  
electronic exhibits at a variety of museums, to gauge interest in the  
Open Exhibits software templates, and to better understand museums’  
technical expertise and constraints.

We will gladly share the results with anyone who completes the survey.  
We already have about 15 responses.
Anyone from any science center or other type of museum is encouraged  
to respond.
