This paper aims to identify emerging professional roles within the museum context, related to the introduction of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The existing shortage of bibliographical references and gaps in previous studies available on this specific subject, have suggested using different analysis of contexts and sources in order to gain useful information. Thus, to reach the aim of the paper, different evidences were chosen concerning previous experiences in classification of ICT professional profiles and an overview of the most recent job offers and job descriptions relating to museums. Following this path, it was possible to identify nine job profiles, which, considering their duties and functions, provide insights for museums’ managers in the complex process of integration set by new technologies.
Il paper si propone di individuare alcune figure professionali emergenti in ambito museale, conseguenti all’introduzione delle Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). L’esiguità dei riferimenti bibliografici e delle indagini disponibili in materia ha suggerito il ricorso a varie fonti alternative per reperire informazioni utili sul tema: precedenti esperienze di classificazione dei profili ICT e una rassegna delle più recenti offerte di lavoro e job descriptions relative al settore in esame. È stato così possibile individuare nove profili che, per competenze e funzioni, possono guidare le istituzioni museali nel complesso processo di integrazione indotto dalle nuove tecnologie.

Abstract
This paper aims to identify emerging professional roles within the museum context, related to the introduction of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The existing shortage of bibliographical references and gaps in previous studies available on this specific subject, have suggested using different analysis of contexts and sources in order to gain useful information. Thus, to reach the aim of the paper, different evidences were chosen concerning previous experiences in classification of ICT professional profiles and an overview of the most recent job offers and job descriptions relating to museums. Following this path, it was possible to identify nine job profiles, which, considering their duties and functions, provide insights for museums’ managers in the complex process of integration set by new technologies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
