Good afternoon MCG'ers, and a happy New Year to you all!
I thought some list members might be interested in this blog post from
Europeana listing the 20 most popular searches by keyword, based the
analysis of more than 2.1m unique searches at www.europeana.eu last
year:
http://blog.europeana.eu/2014/12/2014-top-20-searches-on-europeana/
The list makes for really interesting reading, and it's going to be
interesting to see how the new content strategy based around thematic
channels will impact on how the platform is used in future.
We've also had a busy year with the Culture Grid (
http://www.culturegrid.org.uk) as the primary channel for English
content into Europeana, adding more than 600,000 new records from
museums across the UK, including the Imperial War Museum, Bristol Museum
& Art Gallery, the Horniman Museum, Manchester Museum and Royal Museums
Greenwich. As you may be aware, we are currently consulting over the
future direction of the Culture Grid, as part of which we would love to
get a sense of how many MCG member's museums are at or near the point of
sharing their collections information for open re-use.
If you are, or are interested in finding out how the Culture Grid can
form part of your marketing, audience engagement or content distribution
plans, please do drop me a line at this address. Don't forget, too, that
most of the Collections Management software vendors will be rolling out
easy export functionality over the next 18 months, so talk to them about
how you can use the Europeana Connection Kit to share collections data.
All best,
Nick
