web

Tack vare Sebastian Chans workshop Web analytics and measuring on-line success in a rapidly changing on-line landscape är jag tryggare med det jag redan vet. Segmentera målgruppen, tydliggör syftet och målet, se mönstren inte siffrorna och inse vikten av omvärldsbevakning.
Kul att han tipsade om min favvisbok Web Analytics: An Hour a Day sammanställd av Avinash Kaushik.

THE TALK

Some time ago – in 2005 – Archives & Museum Informatics launched a survey of museum web activities. We noted then that:

Each financial cycle museum Webmasters struggle
to justify their budget requests. Whenever statistical reports are
circulated someone asks, "How do we compare?" When exploring the
benefits of a new function, Web teams ask themselves "Is it worth the
investment?" Answers to these questions are hard to come by.

[see http://www.archimuse.com/research/mwbenchmarks/index.html for the full background]

This survey – the results of which are written up at http://www.archimuse.com/research/mwbenchmarks/report/mwbenchmarks2005.html  – was designed to help fill some of the voids in our knowledge. As a first stab at the problem we realise that it wasn't perfect. And things have changed since 2005!

We've been asked to update the survey for a client-group of museums, and thought we'd use the opportunity to ask for input from the community as well. If we're going to launch it again more broadly, we'd like it to be useful to you ...

So, please, take a look at the questions – available as a PDF from http://www.archimuse.com/research/mwbenchmarks/MW-Survey05.pdf – and post your thoughts on revisions or additional questions here. 

david and i are completing an article for the Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science .... it's got me wondering about what the 'general, intelligent reader' might want to know about museums and the web. 

i'm thinking we need to answer the following questions:

Several people asked for a copy of my presentation, so here is a pdf of it.
Thanks for the attending/participating!

I'm at MW2008 conference in Montreal, and I’ve just been sitting in a great workshop on blogging run by Brian Kelly & Mike Ellis.

Its exciting to see the diversity of people in the session – coming from North America, Europe and New Zealand, and yet the similarity of needs and goals...

Session highlights:

Challenges to blogs: How do we...

Virtual clone of the Old Masters Picture Gallery Dresden in Second Life

The State Art Collections Dresden (Germany) are the first museum to have responded to the new challenges of the web by producing a genuine 1:1 clone of the Old Masters Picture Gallery. This concept is therefore fundamentally different from the many purely fictitious museum creations on the web which have no counterpart in real life.

David and I gave a workshop yesterday on 'Museums and Technology' for the Council of American Jewish Museums (CAJM). It was a last minute favour for a friend, that provided a chance to think about strategies for approaching technology choices.

I'm at the SIG-CR workshop on before the ASIS&T Annual Meeting in Austin TX, listening to information scientists discuss Social Classification. Papers on-line at http://www.slais.ubc.ca/users/sigcr/events.html
