One of the great things about going to a conference like Museums and the Web is what happens between programmed sessions when you’re just meeting people and networking.

Are you planning to use social media at your museum? Well, then you’re not alone. For the last few years social media has attracted huge interest and many museums are seriously considering building communities and allowing users to participate in creation of content – if they’re not already doing it.

How do you make a user friendly and useful web survey? With all the free online tools available today it seems so easy to just do it. Being highly educated people museum professionals should be able to manage that. But do we know how to do it right? That was the central issue of the Museums and the Web workshop Web Surveys: Don’t just do it. Do it right!

I’m in Denver, Colorado for the annual Museums and the Web conference. Before all the workshops and sessions take off Wednesday I planned a personal Preconference Tour to discover some of the museums in the Mile High City.
