Another waste of $20,300
Howdy!
I saw this press release annonoucing that the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre in Southampton, Ontario just scored $20,300 to "digitize its military collection and make it available online through a specially developed Web collections portal." On top of this waste of money (because the digitization can be done for about $20,000 less) they show how badly they understand digital culture when the press release states "(This news release is available on the Internet at www.canadianheritage.gc.ca under Media Room.)" If you go to www.canadianheritage.gc.ca they don't have any links to anything that even approaches 'Media Room."
