Abstract
For some years now, information and communication technologies (ICT) have formed part of our lives, and, for this reason, the “new technologies” tag has fallen out of use to be replaced by ICT. These technologies have slowly been introduced, with greater or lesser success, into a range of professional fields and our lives in general. Thus, now that we have overcome the first stage of complete ignorance, we can see how these technologies allow us to improve the tasks being carried out, whilst also highlighting those tasks we would like them to do in the future.
In order to overcome the possible lack of awareness of the subject, we present this dossier in the Digithum journal focusing on ICT and culture. The dossier contains the following articles:
- Kim Veltman: “Challenges for ICT/UCT Applications in Cultural Heritage”
- Margarida Loran: “Use of Websites to Increase Access and Develop Audiences in Museums: Experiences in British National Museums”
- Cèsar Carreras: “Narrowcasting of Virtual Cultural Portals: the Cases of Barcelona’s Botanic Gardens and the Boí Valley”
Keywords
