In short, it limits museums from being places that are trusted as institutions of public engagement and interaction--the places many museums claim they want to be. When I read the New York Times online, each article's author's name is hotlinked and there is an easy and direct way to contact him/her. It's very relational.

But there’s another kind of threshold fear I care about: the one that keeps museums from fully embracing and jumping into new ways of engaging the public, new ways of including visitors. We all have problems getting in the door—they’re just different doors.

For example, consider two independent arts organizations in Los Angeles -- Machine Project and The Public School. In contrast, The Public School has a democratic framework--anyone can use their website to propose a class she'd like to take or teach. There are terms like "cosmology of the intangible" that raise my high art hackles.
