The Internet has profoundly transformed communication about science. Traditional venues, such as museums and printed magazines, have now been joined by blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, and a dizzying menagerie of other media. Carl's talk will discuss
his experiments--successful and otherwise--in making the transition to science online.<o:p></o:p></p>

There has been an increasing focus on digitizing objects housed in Natural History collections, and recent funding initiatives will lead to the acquisition of digital assets on a massive scale. The acquisition of these assets presents many new challenges related
to the management and accessibility of these items. It also provides an opportunity to make collections accessible in new and interesting ways. This session will feature presentations on the digital content life-cycle from leaders in the field. Topics to be
covered include preservation, discovery, and dissemination. Panelists include Kenneth Hamma (Yale Center for British Art), Dominic Oldman (British Museum), Paul Courant (University of Michigan).<o:p></o:p></p>
