Hi Shona
We've just got into this (as of last month or so) for a group of 5 Black
Country museum services and now have a blog, Flickr and twitter
accounts:
www.madeintheblackcountry.wordpress.com
http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackcountrymuseums/
@bcmuseums twitter account
Now we have the sites up and running we are just starting to write some
policies and procedures. Probably the wrong way round but that's life!
We decided not to have a Black Country museums Facebook account at the
moment but to think about, in the future, perhaps having collection
focused Facebook fan pages - along the lines of 'I'm a fossil fan', 'I
like leather'(??!!), 'Samauri Swords'.

Subject: Local Authority Museums and Social Media
With more and more museums finding their way to social media sites,
Hartlepool Museum Service is looking into how we could use social media
sites to reach our particular aims and objectives. There are some great
examples online (Brooklyn Museum and Tate spring immediately to mind),
but we are looking for examples of how (or even if) local authority
museums use these types of sites. We are particularly interested to
know what sort of policies you have in place and what sites you are
using.
Any examples would be grateful!
Thank you.
