- Note: This is a dramatization, intentionally exaggerated to stimulate debate and cause trouble.
- There is diplomacy… Slow, careful, responsible, respectful, long-term, and I love it!
- … and there is this Fast, brash, not quite fair, meant to give you confidence to work with urgency (and diplomacy) for change.
- Problem: Forward progress by Libraries, Archives, and Museum Web teams is still sometimes impeded by an endless, fruitless debate about authority and trust.
- At the morning staff meeting… Has this ever happened to you?
- Hey everybody, we're putting the collection on flickTubeFaceSpace.com
- And we’re starting a blog,
- And Matt figured out a way to let people put tags and comments on our pages. Isn't that cool? Way to go Matt!
- Duh now hold on just a minute!
- If you do that it will let people who aren't experts
- say things that aren't true about our collections
- It will confuse visitors and diminish our stature as a trusted institution
- And there are legal issues at stake.
- What will we do if somebody puts something that's not true up on our Web site?
- I didn't work my ass off building this collection for 25 years
- to give it away to a bunch of yahoos now!
- And if we put this stuff on flickTubeFaceSpace.com
- God only knows what people are going to do with it.
- I don't have time for this.
- My budget has been cut and I've got half the staff I had 15 years ago.
- And if we put it all out there no one will come to the museum anymore.
- Who is going to pay for this?
- Are you going to fundraise for this and not acquisitions,
- exhibitions, programs, and fixing the leaky roof?
- We're going to loose licensing revenue too!
- You people are just following a fad.....
- What just happened?
- it will let people who aren't experts say things that aren't true about our collections
- * happens all the time (like your staff!) * they also say true things * and unexpected things * and there have been few problems * ...and many delightful surprises * the future of knowledge creation
- it will confuse visitors
- * evidence that this is NOT true * example: NY Times * reputation systems have matured * they're seeing your content everywhere anyway (or they should be)
- diminish our stature as a trusted institution
- * traditional notions of trust and reputation have changed * Lee Raine, "both must be excellent" * "Battlebrands" example (we're not as good as we think) * declining relevance to the way ideas are explored and knowledge is made/shared
- And there are legal issues at stake. What will we do if somebody puts something that's not true up on our Web site?
- * I used to worry about this too... until I saw that Web MD and the pharmaceutical industry got over it * again, the public is aware of who is saying what (C. Shirky example) * and reputation systems have evolved
- I didn't work my ass off building this collection for 25 years to give it away to a bunch of yahoos now.
- * you don't have much control *"who moved the cheese?" * the future of knowledge creation * most of the experts don't work for you
- If we put this stuff up on FlicTubeFaceSpace.com God only knows what people are going to do with it
- * wonderful, unexpected things * whose content is it anyway? (civic mission, public funding) * there have been few problems
- I don't have time for this. My budget's been cut and I've got half the staff I had 15 years ago.
- * a serious issue * transitional models are important * but caution: don't follow a losing model to oblivion (the "Inventors Dilemma")
- If we put it all out there no one will come to the museum anymore
- * where is the greatest growth audience, bricks & mortar or digital? * hasn't proved true -- quite the opposite! * must invest in measurement and analysis * future of knowledge creation
- And who is going to pay for this? Are you going to fundraise for this and not acquisitions and exhibitions and programs and fixing the leaky roof?
- * some attention must be diverted * refrain of "Inventor's Dilemma" challenge * can/should be win/win
- We're going to lose licensing revenue too
- * most is "revenue," not profit * liscensing access is a long-term looser * other business models ascending * don't forget about the mission!!! * need transitional models
- You people are just following a fad
- * perhaps true! (CD-ROMs!) * but follow it intelligently * and recognize the world has changed * invest in core capabilities
