culture and heritage online.

Linking data, linking people will raise discussion and explore
opportunities for the creative and cultural sectors to link and make
available digital content to the benefit of New Zealanders and the rest
of the world.

The interactive format of the programme will encourage delegates to take
part in open knowledge sharing, discussion and debate.  The 2010

[MCN-L] Has your museum changed it's policy due to social networking?

2010-05-07 Thread Christina DePaolo
Hi,
SAM recently updated our photography policy to allow visitor to take pictures 
in the collection galleries for personal use.  This is a big shift for us and a 
good one, to acknowledge that sharing images through social networking is an 
integral part of the visitor experience.

I know many museums have gone through similar changes recently. If you have, 
can you contact me at christinad at seattleartmuseum.orgmailto:christinad at 
seattleartmuseum.org? I'd like to know more about your experience.

Thank you.

Christina - I'm curious about your new policy allowing photography in the 
exhibition spaces. It is something we would like to do as well, but are often 
restricted by clauses in the exhibition contracts and loan forms we sign. Have 
you been successful in negotiating the removal of these clauses or do you 
consider photographs for personal use outside of these restrictions?

Thanks,
Danielle
