Dear MCGers,
a quick follow-up to my earlier post - I've posted anonymised
responses to the first two questions of the survey - 'As a museum
technologist, what are the three most frustrating things about your
job?', and 'List any solutions for each of the problems you listed
above', plus selected comments from respondents to my blog: 'Survey
results: issues facing museum technologists'
http://openobjects.blogspot.com/2010/11/survey-results-issues-facing-museum.html
My thanks to everyone who contributed, I hope the results are more
inspiring than depressing!
I may use some of the responses in a summary of the MCG's UK Museums
on the Web conference I'll be presenting at the GLAM-Wiki event
(http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM-WIKI) in an attempt to provide an
overview of the challenges and opportunities faced by museum
technologists, particularly MCGers. If there's anything you'd like me
to mention, feel free to get in touch.
cheers, Mia
