SEPTEMBER 27, 2013

A couple of years ago, outreach, training, and fundraising consultant, Stephanie Gerding , posted some great basic grantseeking information on TechSoup For Libraries. Finding the right funders that match your mission, your specific project, and your geographic locale is quite an art. I have updated Stephanie’s pieces a bit.

A call went out over a combination of listservs and social media channels asking local nonprofits and libraries to share their most pressing needs and dirtiest jobs with TechSoup via video or text. While social media as a volunteer recruitment tool has been a popular topic recently, TechSoup flipped the equation on its head a bit.

To Write Love on Her Arms and Invisible Children are two of the most well-known nonprofits that came out of MySpace. Sadly, at the same time, libraries and schools across America were blocking MySpace, but allowing Facebook. MySpace is primary used to participate in pop culture. Music and arts organizations, probably.

Given the difficulty in unpacking all of the socio-economic, cultural, political, educational, and other mutually-reinforcing components of digital inequality, simple metaphors can't carry the weight. And who needs libraries when we have Wikipedia and Kindles? In the end, though, it's more money that he's after.

Seema) In some museum work places, the culture of stress is tied to perceived effort, as you mention. Elizabeth) Unfortunately, we don’t have any museum telecommuting policies in the Alliance sample documents library, but now that you’ve asked, we are on the hunt. Do others feel guilty at their job if they aren’t stressed?

Participants in the Summit recognized that if we can overcome challenges of verification, duplication, language, privacy, and culture, we will be in a position to empower the public to share valuable information with all of us. Multiple organizations and systems were having trouble coordinating and sharing information.

By the standard set by a culture that judges MySpace as dangerous, perhaps these in-person interactions are even MORE dangerous. I think it's a good thing that librarything gives me a way to talk to strangers about books that feels safer than approaching the drooling guy at the public library. But are these potential interactions safe?

Museums are quality learning spaces, but so are libraries. Museum house things, but so do libraries. He defined museums as “a lifeline between its community and the wider cultural landscape. Shaelyn Amaio, a museum worker, agreed, as do I. To non-museum goers, the line between museum and not-museum is blurry.

On Musematic , Holly Witchey has rigorously recorded her recent experience at WebWise, a " IMLS/RLG/OCLC/Getty sponsored conference" on Libraries and Museums in the Digital World that was held March 1-2. I wonder what the library people in the room thought when they heard this. Libraries are the ultimate 2.0 content providers.

It's interesting that science museums have started to gravitate towards "center" to convey interactivity, and yet childrens' museums are rarely called centers and don't seem to suffer under the Museum label (though drunken variations of the Funatarium abound). A park or library, sure. I have a personal aversion to the word Center.
