Daniel Winfree Papuga commented on Lynda Kelly's blog post Sorry, but this is a dumb question - getting an RSS feed from this site
"Yes, you can still syndicate content from Museum3!
I am probably not the only person who's RSS feeds stopped working after Museum 3.0 became Museum3. I've now taken another look at the RSS possibilities on Museum3, since I'm in the…"

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am Head of Audience Research at the Australian Museum, Sydney. I have published widely in museum evaluation and write the Audience Research in museums blog with a readership of around 1,500 per month. I am particularly interested in visitor experiences and learning and how these can be measured, young children's learning, Indigenous evaluation, as well as the strategic uses of audience research and new technologies in organisational change. I am happily obsessed with all things Web 2.0 and curious to see how this will change the world that museums operate within and the ways people learn. In 2007 I completed my PhD in museum learning, and now that's finished I am looking forward to the adventures the new web world will bring. In 2010 my latest book, "Hot Topics, Public Culture, Museums", co-edited with Dr Fiona Cameron, University of Western Sydney, will be released.
For the past two years I undertook a senior management role as Head of Visitor Programs and Services at the Australian Museum looking after the learning, outreach, audience research, visitor programs, events and volunteer functions of the Museum, with an annual budget of $3.5 million, income of over $1 million and 30 staff (full, part-time, casual and volunteer). Prior to that, I was Head of Australian Museum Eureka Prizes, Web and Audience Research managing two major outreach projects as well as the Museum’s audience research and evaluation function, with an operating budget of $1 million and 15 staff. Two key projects I oversaw in that role were delivering the 20th Anniversary of the Australian Museum Eureka Prizes, as well as the development and production of australianmuseum.net.au – the Museum’s new website.
Some personal philosophies:
* spelling is the number one skill we will need in this new and confusing world
* life is too short to drink bad wine
* wear orange - it will make you happy
* just do it ... and apologise later.
I administer this Museum 3.0 site – so please feel free to send me any comments and feedback. I'm still new to this so there may be some clunky bits!

TCC 2011 conference - morning session: Social media goes mobile – new media, old messages
My quick notes from morning session. I tended to tweet later on!

- We’re in the midst of a mobile bubble – most apps don’t generate revenue, not much ROI. Quotes the Great app bubble
- Costs of mobile – developing the platform, onsite infrastructure, project management/staff time, content development, marketing + maintenance (new…

Hi all, we're here at the War Memorial in Canberra at a fascinating event where dialogue is taking place about how we can work better together.

Musings from Museums Australia 2009: Works in Progress
In the spirit of my previous post, Do we need to have conferences anymore, thought I'd at least start the ball rolling with observations from the Museums Australia Annual Conference. Well, I don't actually have any at the moment coz I'm only here from today, but we do have a Twitter backchannel… Continue

culture – access – innovation: Museums Aotearoa Tairawhiti Conference
Attending this conference from today through Friday. Have blogged my first piece from the Visitor Research workshop here, with another to come.
We are running a Twitter feed - hash tag #manz09 - but since there's little internet access that I could find this will be very limited!

Sophie Lieberman said… - Hi LK - thanks for seeting this up. I am about to take off comaping (in the rain!) but wondered if you could send me links to the video of Friday's sessions....
I was really excited by the possibilities that came out of the last few days of visits. I will be sending a meeting request for a disucssion on using the exchange that Carolyn set up as a way of developing SITC etc...

Janet Carding said… - Hi Lynda, I found the site via your conference blog - shows that the links work. This looks to me a better starter for an intranet than Facebook, so let's see how it goes. 36 members in 2 days isn't bad going!

Susan Groundwater-Smith said… - Hi Lynda, this whole enterprise is challenging the ways in which I read and think (other than reading Tristam Shandy, that is). Following the digital natives/immigrants argument, I feel a little like a poorly prepared tourist who isn't sure where she is going and what she'll do when she gets who-knows-where. But I must say it's amazing and good fun. Keep prompting us to pack our bags and go on the journey.

- Lynda, do you ever sleep! I think the idea of collecting all the websites cited by my English colleagues is a great idea when I can work out how to do it. By the way, the visit by Trish & Pauline to Ashfield Boys High School to prepare them for their Dinosaurs visit was fantastic; the boys were really switched on. We need to start to collect digital artifacts, like Daisy took some photographs, and imagine how the boys can develop a digital narrative of the whole project.

Peter Rout said… - Lynda,
Thank you very much for the time you spent yesterday talking about everything other than that which was the stated purpose of our meeting, albeit we did 'sort' that out at the end.
You certainly provided information and ideas re the future development of our website which I found most useful.
Look forward to seeing you again on Thursday 13/03 PM

Mardi Nowak said… - Thanks Lynda, I enjoyed your comments at the social media conference in Sydney last Friday also. I'm a bit of a 'one woman' team at the gallery so I'm very keen to use tools to engage a wide audience that I'm interested in and find quite easy to do - such as blogs. I use flickr and blogs to meet and promote my own work too.
Check it out at http://www.missmardinowak.blogspot.com
Cheers!
