Bridge 13, West Coast
Some final thoughts from the West Coast museums …
‘Blogging – connecting something to our existing website – to show them a wee bit more about our museum. And adding objects to our NZMuseums page.’
‘Organise the photos and audio and information that I’ve gathered for my museums studies project and add it to the West Coast Kete project.’
‘For our genealogy and history group, all of the things we’ve looked at are relevant because it’s about reaching out.’
‘I’m looking forward to visiting the Northern Buller Museum, which I haven’t visited before!’
‘I’m keen to update our presence on NZMuseums – add photos, update the text.’
‘I’m going to develop some strategies for the use of social media. If you know why you want to use it, it’s easier to decide which tools to use.’
‘I’m going to get the staff more involved in our current social media activities (take photos and write status updates for our Facebook page and make updates to NZMuseums and NZLive). We’ll strengthen what we’re already doing before taking on new stuff.’
‘Integrating blogging and Twitter on to Facebook, and initiate some conversations about our future website at this early stage in our redevelopment.’
‘I’ve realised that you need to use a number of tools to reach different audiences. It’s possible to reuse content – translate your media releases into a blog post, promote your latest post on twitter etc.’
