Subject: RE:Museum on CD-ROM

My daughter Tamara, who works for a natural history museum, is looking for
some advice on developing a CD-ROM.

She was working on a major permanent exhibit on the Arctic.  Due to a
change in requirements, she was asked to stop work on this exhibit, and
instead to develop "outreach" products about the Arctic.  She would like
to develop a CD-ROM about the Arctic, something she feels could have
excellent outreach potential.  She would like this CD-ROM to act like a
highly interactive museum exhibit; users could look at different parts of
an Arctic environment, for example, and ask for more information on things
that interest them.

Her museum does not have much experience with CD-ROM's, so she would like
some advice.  Are there any CD-ROM's on the Arctic that are already
available?  If so, where could she find out about them?  Are there
consulting firms that could advise on the structure of the content?  Are
there books or other written materials that could assist in designing
content suitable for the CD-ROM format?

Any leads, or advice, that any of you can give will be very gratefully
received and appreciated.  Thanks much and take care...

We are a group at Rochester Institute of Technology that have done many 
interactive exhibits for museums. We would be interested in talking with
your daughter Tamara about her project.
