What are your red flags for LinkedIn follow requests? I’m usually pretty open if the request comes from someone in the #GLAM field, but things like “AI Leader” =

Saw an article today about the Virtual War Memorial and remembered that way back in 2008 at the National Archives we hacked together Google Maps and Tumblr to enable people to upload images and stories about WWI service people. In the 6 months following the site's launch there were more than 1,000 of these 'scrapbook' posts.

The NAA later rebuilt the site, and a couple of years ago they completely removed it. You can find bits on the Internet Archive & Trove, but I don't know how many of the posts were saved...

I wrote about creating the site here: https://discontents.com.au/local-heroes/index.html #GLAM #archives #crowdSourcing

'The Junkanoo Museum, a vital cultural institution in Providenciales, has taken a significant step toward sustainability by installing an off-grid solar power system, reducing operational costs while preserving and showcasing the islands' rich cultural heritage.'

Very interesting. It confirms my observations and research on #AHAlodeck:

"Feels like false authority and we get beat up and paid for the jobs we held 4 years ago… not the psychological Wild West we are and have been navigating. Libraries before and after are not dying, but they are NOT the same." #LIS #GLAM #Libraries #Library

Last year we launched the Stockton Historical Society Inc Digital Archives. We did an online event to showcase the new site. We didn’t record due to privacy, so I’ve re-recorded the presentation. So if you’re interested in setting up an online archive for a small #GLAM institution, give it a watch!

It’s built using #Omeka Classic on Omeka.net

I know I just saw someone else dealing with this recently, but does anyone have any guidance on how one should respond to self evaluations? My system just started them and I don't know how to optimally respond. It's not tied to wages or (supposedly) punishment, so I don't know why the fuck we have to, but here we are.

FAI(r)Re* Daten, d.h. tatsächlich nachnutzbare Daten, sollten die Zugänglichkeit möglichst zielgruppenorientiert gestalten. #API​s sind wichtig, aber in manchen Fällen zu komplex oder aufwendig. #Dumps können hier eine sinnvolle Ergänzung sein. Bei @digiSberlin bieten wir nun für Berliner #GLAM​s Abzüge der über die @ddbkultur verfügbaren Daten an: https://openbiblio.social/@digiSberlin/114352892890117038 (https://www.digis-online.de/objects/berlinOpenGLAMdata/).

Happy anniversary to Todd Haynes film, ‘Velvet Goldmine’. Released in theaters this week in 1998. Besides being a magnificent & phantasmagorical film, the soundtrack was everything. #velvetgoldmine #toddhaynes #brianslade #curtwild #glam #glamrock

'A new bill introduced in the Texas legislature could fine museums $500,000 per day if they display "obscene" works of art, months after GOP officials sought to remove photographs involving nude children from a museum in Fort Worth. '
