Museums and the Web Benchmarking Survey
Each financial cycle museum Webmasters struggle to justify their budget requests. Whenever statistical reports are circulated someone asks, "How do we compare?" When exploring the benefits of a new function, Web teams ask themselves "Is it worth the investment?" Answers to these questions are hard to come by.
To help fill this void in our knowledge about museums' use of the Web, Archives & Museum Informatics (the producers of the Museums and the Web conference) are launching what we hope will be an regular survey of Museums and the Web.
Please respond by March 15, 2005.

The Survey
==========
We're asking Museum Webmasters co-ordinate an institutional response to this survey, which is divided into three sections.
A. Administrative Questions, to be answered by someone with knowledge of budgets and staffing
B. Design, Technical and Collections Questions, to be answered by someone with a knowledge of technical infrastructure
C. Marketing, Membership and Education Questions, to be answered by someone with a knowledge of e-commerce, and educational programs
To help with your preparation, a PDF version of the full survey is available for download from http://www.archimuse.com/research/mwbenchmarks/MW-Survey05.pdf
Please complete all three parts of the survey on-line, at http://www.archimuse.com/research/mwbenchmarks/index.html
Please encourage your colleagues to complete the survey as well. The more institutions provide information, the more valuable the results will be.
The Results
===========
Institutions who complete all three parts of the survey will have access to anonymized results. No data will be distributed or published that identifies individuals or individual museums.
Survey responses will be assembled into benchmarks about museum Web activity. Archives & Museum Informatics also expects to publish a summary of the results.
Questions
=========
Please send questions or comments about the survey to WebSurvey@archimuse.com.
Thanks in advance for your help in assembling data about our collective Web-based activities.
