Abstract
There is a current trend to make museum collections widely accessible by digitising cultural heritage collections for the Internet. At the same time we know very little of how remote access users interact with the collections and their motivations for visiting. This talk will present results from two research projects on online museum visitors. The first case study will illustrate the information seeking and searching characteristics of online museum visitors at the National Museum of Military History in Copenhagen. Participants in this case study are characterised as special interest museum visitors pursuing a long-standing interest or hobby. The second part of the talk will present preliminary findings from a study of user motivation in the context of Europeana.eu. The talk will invite to reflections and a discussion of how we can explore and evaluate motivation of virtual museum visitors.
