Following their experience with the 2003 NSF-funded conference, "Best Practices in Science Exhibition Development," the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) is creating for informal science education practitioners a dynamic online system, "ExFiles," for contributing to, using and conducting communications about a database on exhibitions. At least 1,000 practitioners are expected to use the site over the course of the three-year project, which will be sustained by ASTC after the grant period. The website is being populated initially with a set of at least 40 exhibitions representing a variety of scientific domains, sizes and interpretive and design strategies. Promotion of the site is being assisted by several associations: National Association of Museum Exhibitions, Association of Children's Museums, American Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta, American Zoo and Aquarium Association and the European Network of Science Centres and Museums.

科学技术中心协会(ASTC)根据2003年由NSF资助的“科学展览发展最佳实践”会议的经验，为非正规科学教育从业者创建了一个动态的在线系统“ExFiles”，用于促进、使用和进行关于展览数据库的交流。预计至少有1,000名从业者将在为期三年的项目期间使用该网站，该项目将在赠款期限后由ASTC维持。该网站最初设有一套至少40个展览，代表各种科学领域、规模以及解释和设计战略。该网站的推广工作得到了几个协会的协助：全国博物馆展览协会、儿童博物馆协会、美国植物园和植物园协会、美国动物园和水族馆协会以及欧洲科学中心和博物馆网络。
