"This paper examines the current state of museum guide technologies and applications in order to develop an analytical foundation for future research on an adaptive museum guide for families. The analysis focuses on three critical areas of interest in considering group and social interaction in museums: tangibility - the role of tangible user interfaces; interaction - visit types and visit flows; and adaptivity-user modeling approaches. It concludes with a discussion of four interrelated trajectories for interactive museum guide research including embodied interaction, gameplay, transparent and opaque interaction and the role of personal digital assistants."

This article examines a recent series of interactions between the Sam Noble Museum, University of Oklahoma, and the Kiowa Black Leggings Warrior Society in Anadarko, Oklahoma. These endeavors employed reciprocal systems of authority and power sharing and embraced the increased importance of community heritage agendas in defining museum exhibition and research programs. Specifically, this article provides a detailed explication of the process and products of collaboration and their respective roles in fostering longitudinal relationships. The efforts of the museum to produce a video program to accompany the exhibition of a Kiowa calendar record intersects with the efforts of the Black Leggings Warrior Society to claim and protect their intellectual property through the use of defensive publication. The authors encourage our colleagues engaged in similar efforts to consider the contingent nature of longitudinal collaborations and the critical need to actively address the inherent inequities in museum-community relationships.
