Gradually the circle of the problems considered at the ADIT conferences extended: electronic catalogs and databases, a hardware of the museums, multimedia production, the sites of the museums and their page on social networks, the general principles of information policy and openness of the museums. ADIT realizes also long-term projects, works with youth and carries out information support of museum research projects. Members of ADIT became recognized experts in the field of development of IT in the museums.
