Hello James and Erin,

The guide looks great and is very comprehensive. I hope the interviewees
will give us enough time to cover up everything!

Maybe, if we see that the person doesn't have much time for us, we could at
least make sure that he / she walks us through the process of an exhibit
creation, from the scratch til it has ended. And then, for each step try to
find out the process, the output, the people involved, the tools, etc. And
then, at the end, ask what Jess mentioned about differences among
exhibitions.

Well, it is just a different way of structuring the same questions :)

In the initial part (demographics, contexts, icebreakers), I would ask a
couple of questions about the museum structure, the amount of people that
work there, the departments, etc. Museums are going to vary greatly
depending on the size (and therefore budget, etc.).

Also from the list of contacts we have, it struck me that each has decided
on a different IT strategy (mobile, Facebook, podcast, etc.). I think it
would be interesting to know the reasons why they picked that technology and
not the other. We could ask this part in 4.3 section.

Best regards,
Muriel
