The Engaging with Social Media in Museums research project is prototyping the use of social media such as blogs and wikis in museums to produce a new source of high-quality cultural information, and to link regional, rural and international users with city-based institutions.
Chief Investigator Dr Angelina Russo discusses the project and its examination of the impact of social media on museum learning and communication.
This forum was held at the State Library of Victoria on 5 February 2008.
