Abstract

Change comes slowly to institutions of higher learning. This paper proposes to examine a crossroads that has been arrived at, and has the potential to bring about significant change. It can be credited to electronic technology. It is the forging of a new expanded relationship between the university and museum studies, and ultimately, museums as well. Technology, but specifically multimedia is here to stay. As time evolves it is becoming increasingly accessible and affordable. It is proving itself to be an influential and powerful tool for learning.
