Center for the Future of Museums twittered this today: Barcodes help objects tell their stories.
Here is the direct website for Tales of Things.
I got a bit excited. Is this the step that the internet needs to form into a collection management system? Is there a way that small museums can incorporate this into their systems, as a way to share objects with larger audiences? Can this be used in our project Wikipedia Saves Public Art?
So many questions. I'm looking forward to trying out my first barcode!
