Sources of information: guides to the Internet
This page summarises some of the guides to the Internet relevant to museums. It focuses on
books, omitting references to sources that are only available on-line on the Internet. It has been
developed by the International Committee for Documentation of the International Council of Museums
( ICOM-CIDOC ).
The references are grouped in two sections:
If you have information about additional references that should be included in these sections
or are interested in helping maintain this page, please contact
Leonard Will .
A large number of books have been published about the Internet in the last two years, some of
which are accompanied by CD-ROMs with various programs. If you do not already have a selection of
titles, you might like to look through the following. This is a selection of current editions of
books that have proved useful while learning about the Internet and using Internet services. The
initial selection was made by Andrew Roberts, with subsequent additions from Leonard Will and
contributors to CIDOC-L. A number of the French references have been taken from the French-language
version of the ICOM Web style guide. If you have other favourites which you think should be
included in this list, please contact Leonard Will
