Social media
While some museums have embraced social media websites such as Twitter and Facebook, others are more reticent, unsure what the benefits and potential pitfalls are.
This issue of Museum Practice explores the potential of social media websites and the different approaches museums can take. Find out how to develop a social media strategy, how to monitor your online activity and what the future of online networking holds.
Plus, read recent case studies, including how a local authority museum made the case for social media, an innovative way to use Twitter and how the lessons learned from social media can be applied to websites. There is also an integrated Twitter stream following activity around Picture a Museum day on 17 March.
Finally, if you've got a question about social media or a problem that you need help with, put these to other museum professionals and share your own experiences in the Have Your Say forum.
