Hello all,
I'm happy to share that GLAM-Wiki US now has a blog!
http://blog.us.glamwiki.org/
This is a direct result of feedback that we requested of GLAM professionals on the GLAM-US list, regarding platforms for the GLAM-Wiki US Consortium that would be most useful for busy cultural professionals (and Wikipedians, too.)
Thanks to Sara Snyder, specifically, for the suggestion. And also to Mike Peel & Dominic for helping to get the domain all situated.
This will be a predominately broadcast-centric platform (rather than promoting discussion.) But it is only the first of a number of things we're developing that will further promote dialogue between Wikipedians and GLAM professionals.
For now, there are only informational posts that link out externally to the GLAM:US Portal.
In the future, there will be three main types of posts:
- Basic information on some of our best practices, including link roundups of resources. (Similar to the Wik-in-Res post.)
- Updates and highlights from our ongoing and new partnerships and events, in order to more easily promote collaborations.
- Inquiring posts, or prompts for dialogue, that will help shape the US Consortium and global GLAM best practices.
This will certainly be a community blog, so if you have a timely & relevant post for the next few weeks please let me know.
If you have any suggestions or questions, I'm happy to hear them!
Best,
Lori
