Dear all,
I am writing to invite you to participate in an online questionnaire survey, which is about the development of GLAM-Wiki community and is a part of my Master degree Dissertation.
My name is Xiaojun Xie, a postgraduate student studying Digital Humanities at UCL. I am now doing my dissertation focusing on the collaborative project between traditional cultural institutions and digital media platforms. My dissertation aims to explore the development process and current state of the collaboration between traditional GLAM institutions ("galleries, libraries, archives, and museums" also including botanic and zoological gardens) and digital media platforms through a case study on GLAM-Wiki Community. The dissertation tries to answer two questions that how the GLAM-Wiki community has been developed since 2008 and what are the significant factors that accelerate or hinder the development process.
Until now, most research relevant to GLAM-Wiki community is focusing on single project and few researchers study the development of GLAM-Wiki community through research methods like the interviews or questionnaire survey on both GLAM side and Wikimedia side. As the essence of GLAM-Wiki community is the collaborative, non-profit(most) projects between two separate institutions, it would be meaningful to collect comments, attitudes and suggestions from both sides to depict the current development of the community. Therefore, I sincerely hope that you can participate in my online questionnaire survey if you have any experience in conducting GLAM-Wiki projects.
Here is the link for the online questionnaire: https://forms.gle/yJ4gZrq1Eyty5ycK6
All data will be collected and stored in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018. It will be retained for the duration of the project and for a period of up to 1 year afterwards in order to allow for re-examination of the data by the research student or his/her supervisors or examiners for purposes connected with the Master’s dissertation and its examination.
I will be really grateful if you can fill in the questionnaire for me. Please feel free to forward this mail to those who have been involved in GLAM-Wiki projects.
Thank you very much for your time and attention.
Best regards,
Xiaojun
