Besides of the theory of "transmission model," other theories like "communication as culture," "diffusion of innovations," and "new media technology" should be taken into account seriously and thoroughly. Other related issues such as "information inequality/gap," "information searching/referencing on the Internet," virtual reading community," "users as creators of content," "human interface," and "access to the general public" are also key factors of a successful digital library and digital museum in the information age.數位圖書館數位博物館數位媒介傳輸模式傳播即文化創新傳播資訊鴻溝Digital libraryDigital museumDigital mediumTransmission modelCommunication as cultureDiffusion of innovationsInformation gap
