Hello all,
I was very excited to see this blog post come out of the Getty today, from
CEO James Cuno, who is both a polarizing and respected force in the museum
world. In the U.S. we've been trying to encourage the Getty to release
their Vocabularies into the public domain for years. In my last effort, I
had the Dallas Museum of Art's Rob Stein tell me he would be sure to
"strongly encourage" this as soon as he could, because there was really no
reason why it shouldn't be. So that is a great win for us, in addition to
the fact that the Getty is a new proponent and advocate for open culture in
general.

I'm also personally quite proud that the recent Horizon Report: Museum
Edition was cited as his rationale, thanks to the fact that Open Content
was included as a near-term horizon in the 2012 report. We worked hard to
get that included this year, since Open Content has been on the bubble in
past Horizon Reports. It's also exciting to see the Walters listed first
among Cuno's listing of forward thinking institutions in the US who have
paved the way for open culture.
This blog should prove useful for those still needing convincing - enjoy!

Hello all,
We will not have a GLAM-Wiki GLAMout this month due to many folks traveling
for Wikimania.
Please help us make the September GLAMout the best it can be! We've had
some great updates and conversations since we started in May. It's
important to us that the GLAMouts be global. While it's hosted by the
GLAM-Wiki US Consortium, it's meant for everyone to participate.
Share your ideas for topics and sign up to present or watch:

Thanks and happy Wikimania to those who are able to attend!

I saw this on another list and think it is of interest to US GLAM people
-- including people who are not technologists.

Dear all,
a ship is cruising rivers in and around Germany with a science
exhibition every year. The topic for next year is the digital society,
and you are invited to edit the exhibition, e.g. by proposing
individual exhibits or by making suggestions about the overall
concept.
The project page in German is at
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Ausstellungen/MS_Wissenschaft_%…
,
and a summary in English sits at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Ship .
Thanks and cheers,
Daniel
This sort of tool is, in its most general form, not specific to Wikipedia.
Are there any widespread tools for tracking visibility of an archive
on other sites on the web?

Cool! Thanks for pointing me to the right direction.
However I need something a bit more, including more languages and
categorization of types of pages (encyclopedia article page, talk and
other "house-keeping" pages) since the goal is to build a tool for
measuring Wkipedia presence of digital humanities websites.
For the case of measuring welshjournals.llgc.org.uk, I believe that
stats from Welsh Wikipedia (cy.wikipedia.org) is necessary for this
case, but not included by the LinkSearch.
Best,
