So great there is a case study being built!

Some minor points (that may not be so minor to laypersons...) that I think I brought up before on a thread with Walters and Wikimedia peeps around marking:

* The bottom (CC) at the Walters website links to cc by-nc-sa -- which is not the license mentioned in the text (by-sa). Also tricky what is meant by putting (cc) instead of a (c) notice + license notice. * An example image lists "creative commons license" generically, rather than specifically naming the CC BY-SA license and linking to it --which is a marking best practice, eg. http://art.thewalters.org/detail/175/napoleon-i/

None of this is to detract from the great contribution by Walters and work done by Wikimedia volunteers to make this happen, but would be great to continue working on improving marking, esp. if this will be held up as an example for case study!

Fyi, we are working on release revamped best practices around marking for V4.0 CC license launch, so stay tuned for simpler pages at http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Marking.

Cheers, Jane

Hi everyone,

We have a new case study in the GLAM-Wiki world! It was co-authored by myself and Dylan Kinnett from the Walters Art Museum.

You can read more about it here: http://openglam.org/2013/01/22/walters-art-museum-a-case-study-in-sharing/

And access it directly here: http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Case_studies/Walters_Art_Museum

This is a great and inspiring case study in sharing, and can be used as a great tool in getting institutional buy in for opening your own institution in the spirit of OpenGLAM and GLAM-Wiki.
