Birmingham Civil Rights Institute

The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute will improve its delivery of programs and services to its diverse audiences by enhancing staff capacity to effectively utilize technology. With the recent installation of new interactive exhibits and a fiber optic network, the museum will now develop the skills of its staff to more fully utilize these new opportunities to support education programs and services. The museum will hire a computer and information systems assistant to provide technical support for exhibitions and staff functions, and a series of training programs for all staff will be offered in Internet and software applications. The project will promote greater efficiency between the various museum departments through improved communication and coordination, information sharing, data collection and analysis, and external communication with visitors and other constituents.
