North Carolina Museum of History 1988.39.4 I’m always amazed when my colleagues tell me that the biggest barrier they face to “opening up” the content at their museums is from registrars—the people who care for collection objects. Followers of Museum 2.0 To me, this seems both discouraging and ungenerous to visitors.

When you design a new interactive, talkback station, or traditional exhibit for your museum, what best practices and design requirements do you consult? Museums don't have a well-developed body of industry-wide best practices. The solution is a design pattern library, a place where Yahoo! Do you use classic books?

One of the surprise benefits of Saturday's Museums and Civic Discourse session was the chance to sit down with Mitch Allen of Left Coast Press (formerly AltaMira press), publisher of the Museums and Social Discourse journal among many, many other museum publications. To his credit, Mitch didn't take offense. Are We There Yet?

I often talk about the idea of taking social technology out of the Web and putting it into physical museums as part of our exhibitions and programs. Recently, I learned about an innovative, super-low tech tagging pro ject in a library that does this beautifully. The library created a book drop for every tag. Sounds complicated?

Change Isn't Coming. With an exponential increase in people accessing the Internet on mobile devices, the nonprofits, charities, and libraries that don't have a website optimized for mobile devices or that haven't created a separate mobile website risk irritating — or losing — their supporters. It's Here.

For the past year, I've been ending many of my talks with this image. Haarlem Oost is a branch library in the Netherlands that wanted to encourage visitors to add tags (descriptive keywords) to the books they read. To do this, the library didn't create a complicated computer system or send people online.

Exhibit labels in science centers ask more questions than any other kinds of museums, and yet the questions are often awful--teacherly, overly rhetorical, and totally meaningless. asked by a cop or mother, garners the full attention of asker and askee alike, museum questions like "what is nanotechnology?," Leary (NRG!

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 I like this.

Are museum visitors "customers?" Are library patrons "shopping?" We're not talking about values or how to make your city better or how to change the world. How many museum and library entrances are hard to find, dark, and require opening a heavy door? Some swear by it. Some eschew it. People like to walk in a loop.

Is there a way to express it in a simple metaphor, image, or phrase? It's a great format for sharing your vision for a new initiative or desired change. You don't have to be Shakespeare to throw in some beautiful phrasing, rhythm, and images. I mostly use single images, occasionally punctuated with a bold statement or quote.
