In 2012 the Corning Museum of Glass broke ground for it’s new Contemporary Art + Design wing. Using the new Contemporary wing as a testing ground, the museum began work on a campus-wide digital media strategy for interpretation and museum information management. A core component of this strategy is Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), connecting museum visitors at a personal level to a range of rich interpretive content on their personal devices. Museum staff knew from the beginning that past museum BYOD projects had met with limited or mixed results (Proctor, 2009). Understanding there were a number of known and unknown obstacles, the museum developed a cohesive, cross-institutional approach to identify and address each challenge and ensure the programs success (Mir, 2014). This paper provides an overview of preliminary research findings and practices being developed around visitor focused BYOD at the Corning Museum of Glass. http://mw2015.museumsandtheweb.com/paper/bring-it-on-ensuring-the-success-of-byod-programming-in-the-museum-environment/
