Resumo

Nowadays digital content and multimedia guides are present in many museums. We have inquired into the attitudes, fears, expectations and demands toward digitalization of museum contents among ethnological museum workers and managers and introduction of ICT in Galician ethnological museums, in order to discover the key reasons for not adopting such technological tools. Thus ethnological museums can be classified in three different groups according to their management attitude to the introduction and use of digital technologies: proactive (dolphin museum type); opportunist (jellyfish museum type); opportunist (mussel museum type). The lack of knowledge about the implementation and management of multimedia digital guides; fear of high costs; and a lack of confidence in the benefits for the transmission of information to the visitors, are some of the main reasons given.
