As new technologies and ideas continue to transform traditional museum practices and employment patterns, our concentration in museums has responded to these changes by offering the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed by current and future museum professionals. Footnote 1
The findings of this survey have revealed a marked increase in technology courses when compared with those reviewed in Trant's survey. Trant identified 25 programs with technology courses; this survey indicates an increase to 32 programs at the present time. In addition, entire programs that emphasize technology in museums have been developed since . Neither the Johns Hopkins Museum Studies Program nor L'Université du Québec en Outaouais Programme de Cybermuséologie appears on Trant's survey. The growth in the number of courses that emphasize technology reflects an escalating attention to the roles and impact of technology in museums.
