ABOUT LESLIE JOHNSTON
My expertise is in the management of digital initiatives in cultural heritage and academic institutions.

For many years I was active in the museum automation community, working for various museums, teaching courses on museum systems, founding the online journal eSpectra, editing the print journal Spectra, and serving on the board of the Museum Computer Network (MCN).Specialties: Experience in digital library and archive strategic planning, program management, implementation and integration of new initiatives, and operations management.
