Recently, several subscribers to the RCAAM (Registrar’sCommittee of AAM) listserv posted concerns about professional photographers and museum visitors taking photographs of objects on exhibition. I encountered strong push-back on the listserv, with one subscriber calling my fitness for my job title, “collections care trainer,” into question.

There has been some discussion in nonprofit forums, blogs, and listservs about the pros and cons of Facebook Pages versus Groups for nonprofits. These types of promotions can be supported on the Facebook Fan Page, but should not be the primary focus and should be housed in other digital arenas.

Julie described the library's community as "economically depressed" and a place where the digital divide is real: most people only access the Internet from their phones. The library, which serves about 4,000 people, has no dedicated IT staff and a budget of about $200,000 per year. You might need to tweak your goals as you go.

Use the name in all of your donor correspondence, digital and otherwise. Our mid-level fundraising listserv has more than 200 active participants. But they do have a point, sort of: Your sustainer program does NOT need a name. Solution: Give your mid-level program a name. Donors feel taken for granted. This one is for over-achievers.

While doing research, I found myself digging back into old arguments on museum listservs about photo policies and I want to add my two (very opinionated) cents on this. How do you measure the potential lost income from a photographer not buying a postcard against the online impressions his photo makes on others?

Social media, interactive digital tools, are very inexpensive, and when used well are great ways to enhance, deepen and strengthen those relationships. They can then go online and create a wiki to share documents and lists together, they can also create a listserve and a blog to keep everyone informed of progress and discuss strategy.

I don't know if that was their original plan or a reaction to our poor use of the wiki, but it certainly didn't reflect our supposed digital chops. Woody launched it with an email to the ASTC listserv--a good group to target for his content. But people who read a listserv aren't necessarily incentivized to contribute to the wiki.
