    The CCIS series is devoted to the publication of peer-reviewed proceedings of conferences and workshops. Its aim is to efficiently disseminate original research results in computer science. All CIS proceedings are available in electronic form from the SpringerLink digital library, and as printed books, and reach libraries and readers worldwide via Springer's distribution network. Besides globally relevant meetings with internationally representative program committees guaranteeing a strict peer-reviewing and paper-selection process, conferences run by societies or of high regional or national relevance are also considered for publication. Application-oriented and interdisciplinary conferences are also welcome. The topical scope of CCIS spans the entire spectrum of computer science ranging from foundational topics in the theory of computing to information and communications science and technology and a broad variety of interdisciplinary application fields. CIS proceedings can be published in time for distribution at conferences or as revised proceedings after the event. The publication is free of charge and an Open Access option is available at a fee. The language of publication is exclusively English. CCIS is abstracted/indexed in DBL, Google Scholar, El-Compendex, Mathematical Reviews, SCImago, and Scopus. CCIS volumes are also submitted for inclusion in ISI Proceedings. To start the evaluation of your proposal for inclusion in the CIS series, please send an e-mail to ccis@springer.com.

    Welcoming Young Children into the Museum : A Practical Guide
    (Routledge, 2021) Erdman, Sarah ; Nhi Nguyen ; Middleton, Margaret
    Welcoming Young Children into the Museum provides all of the information practitioners need to consider when making the decision to engage with this audience and their carers. Meeting the reader where they are, this guide enables professionals to work toward outcomes that fit with their needs. Working methodically from the initial stages of bringing staff on board, through to implementation and evaluation, readers are carefully steered through each phase. "Big-picture" needs, like adherence to mission, are considered alongside logistical components, like cleaning schedules, to ensure that museums cater to young children in a way that is beneficial to both the visitors and the institution. Drawing on current neurological research and best practices in early childhood education and development, this guide presents case studies from a variety of different institutions around the world that demonstrate that creating interesting, developmentally appropriate opportunities for young children is about much more than just simplifying what is already on offer. Erdman, Nguyen and Middleton demonstrate that the age and needs of the visitors must be taken into careful consideration, as well as the assets and potential obstacles of the institution. Welcoming Young Children into the Museum will be essential reading for professionals working in museums large and small, regardless of type. It will be useful to those who are considering setting up new programmes for early years audiences and those with existing programmes, who would like to improve their offering.
