Now Available: Live Tweets and Papers Presented at Museums and the Web 2011 Conference

The Museums on the Web 2011 conference in Philadelphia is now in its third day (the conference ends Saturday) and if you’re not not attending there is a steady stream of tweets emanating from the event.

Follow Along at #mw2011. You can also find some tweets via @museweb.

Btw, if you want to focus only on tweets that contain URLs that’s also possible. This search string should do the trick: #mw filter:links

The Museums and the Web 2011 program is available here.

But that’s not all folks!

There are a number of presentations that will be believe will be  of interest to the library community.

Papers presented at the conference are already online and can be found at the bottom of each session description OR on this page where all of the speakers are listed in alphabetical order.

We plan to feature some of the papers as individual posts but for now here are four that we think will be of interest.

• “Social Media and Organizational Change”

• “Gaming the museum”

• “Tag! You’re It! What value do folksonomies bring to the online museum collection?

• “Rethinking Evaluation Metrics in Light of Flickr Common”
  Note: Several authors of the paper are librarians or archivists.

Finally, the winners of “The Best of the Web” awards will be announced at the conference. A list of of the nominated sites/apps/collections and direct inks to each of them can be accessed here. The museums and organizations who developed these sites and apps have done some great work. Both interesting and useful.
