Over the past 4 years, I have worked to share our collections online. As I look back at what we have achieved to consider whats next, one question keeps coming up...do we still need a collections online website?

Google is drawing conversions and interactions away from our own websites and into the main search results; The partnerships we are creating with specialist aggregators are putting our content in front of researchers in the online ecosystems which they are used-to working with; social media outreach is servicing our culture snackers.

What role does our collections online play in the new landscape of the web?
