Mission Statement
The Data and Insights Interest Group (DI SIG) enables MCN members to exchange research (results and methodology) and share questions regarding all manner of quantitative and qualitative evaluation of online museum content. Areas of particular interest are user feedback analysis, server log analysis, and user consultation and participation. The DI SIG endeavors to develop best practices and further the knowledge and expertise of participants as a result of pooling our experience.
