Subject: [MCN-L] Study on impact on interpretative staff by collections online
efforts
Hi everyone:
For about 8 years now, I've had a bit of an agenda to see if we can move past
relatively passive online catalogs and into enriching interpretive materials
about the collections. I've been thinking a lot lately about possible methods
for this, now that so many of us have our collections online, either on our
websites or through social media. In my mind, there are four populations that
have a hand in providing interpretive materials about individual collection
items:
Curators
Museum educators
External experts (researchers, teachers) General public (especially people with
personal stories)
The first two generally have the task of responding to the latter two.
I'm particularly interested to know if, by putting our collections out there,
how much of an increase in research requests museums have received, and how
that impacts the staff. Does this affect further online interpretation efforts?
So I wanted to query the lazywebs and punt it out to you all to see if you're
familiar with any studies around this topic. The only two I've found thus far
(admittedly, just a surface search) is Erika Dicker's MW
2010 paper, "The Impact of Blogs and Other Social Media on the Life of a
Curator" and Nancy Proctor's "The Google Art Project: A New Generation of
Museums on the Web?"
Thanks!
~Perian
