Page 3 - AC/E's Digital Culture Annual Report 2015

This is the second edition of the AC/E Digital Culture Annual Report published by Acción Cultural Española in accordance with an edito- rial policy of providing both professionals and citizens with a tool for gauging the impact of new technologies on culture. It is the result of an internal reflection undertaken two years ago on how to incorporate the digital dimension into AC/E’s goals and our work in supporting the culture sector. This study sets out to analyse the main technological trends that cultural managers should take into account in the coming years.This year’s edition, like its predecessor, is divided into two parts. In the first part, twelve opinion pieces by experts in this field analyse the new business models that have arisen from digital disruption and propose ways of applying them to the culture sector. The second part shows the impact the Internet is having on museums, in order to examine in depth the changes the sector is undergoing and help cultural organisations provide experiences that are in line with the expectations of twenty-first-century users.Teresa LizaranzuPresident, Acción Cultural Española (AC/E)AC/E Digital Culture Annual Report 2015
