Museums (etc) do need experts (I know you are not arguing against this) but what interests me is that museum staff, who often devote their working lives to building knowdledge, are recognised and rewarded while at the same time being drawn into the conversation with the online community. The opposite of knowledge is ignorance, and that is not going to help anyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8167359877593274626.post-69149605732233115872008-04-18T07:51:00.000+10:002008-04-18T07:51:00.000+10:00Liz,Thanks for the link.
