Profile

About Me:: I am the Head of Audience Research at the Australian Museum, Sydney. I have published widely in museum evaluation and write the Audience Research in museums blog with a readership of around 500 per month. I am particularly interested in visitor experiences and learning and how these can be measured, young children’s learning, Indigenous evaluation, as well as the strategic uses of audience research and new technologies in organisational change. I am happily obsessed with all things Web 2.0 and curious to see how this will change the world that museums operate within and the ways people learn. In 2007 I completed my PhD in museum learning, and now that’s finished I am looking forward to the adventures the new web world will bring. Some personal philosophies:
* spelling is the number one skill we will need in this new and confusing world
* life is too short to drink bad wine
* asparagus is evil
* just do it ... and apologise later.

I administer this Museum 3.0 site – so pleasew feel free to send me any comments and feedback. I'm still new to this so there may be some clunky bits!

Official launch of the Top 100 Australian Web 2.0 Applications list

Here's the list of Australia's top web apps compiled by Ross Dawson - note that our own Seb and Powerhouse makes the list! While it makes interesting reading, a long list of apps without any context or grouping is pretty unhelpful in my view. I tried to go on his blog to add this but couldn't work out how.

How many social networking sites do you need to be part of??

Been thinking lots about this quite a bit lately as I drown, pleasantly, in my online world. There's a group on Facebook called, appropriately, Museums on Facebook which, at last look, has 241 members. They are now having a discussion about the value of Facebook for museums (which staff at the Australian Museum also had a few weeks ago at our Facebook Friday event). Here's the post I added if anyone's interested: STARTS I think to d… Continue

Museum reboots historical records with email archive

Here's an interesting idea - archiving all those embarassing and interesting emails you've kept along the way. To contribute go to the emailaustralia project website.

At 12:34pm on June 25th, 2008, Patricia Sabine said…: Many thanks Lynda; thank you for taking Australia to the world. I trust I won't blunder about too much, clicking buttons I shouldn't. Spent last night getting my head around MA's wiki; and thinking about how we can make it work more effectively for the "non-IT-literate' like myself. Your advice/input to me or Bernice would be greatfully received, Cheers Patricia

At 9:17pm on June 24th, 2008, Seth Thompson said…: Thanks Lynda for the nice note. I am glad you created this network. It looks like it will be really helpful for my research and I look forward to contributing as well.

Best,
Seth

I like your creation about this community.

At 9:39pm on June 20th, 2008, Lynda Kelly said…: thanx for this - hadn't seen that. Come in round 9.30 - I have lots on but we'll work around it. We already have a good start and I think you could also start a discussion post on this site asking if anyone has good leads on the whole podcasting thing and we can see where we go.

Look forward to it!!

Thanks for the background notes. Are you still OK for a Monday start - what time would you like me to come in?

Did you notice Telstra have started their 'teaser' campaign for the QR Code in the SMH today - www.QRious.com.au?

At 6:50pm on June 19th, 2008, Lynda Kelly said…: Hi Linda - happy to meet up. 3pm would be better. If you can stay after that you can join our MUGS meeting (Museum Users Group) where we look at Web 2.0 in a "safe" environment where people feel comfortable asking (what they think are) dumb questions - we're going to look at a couple of bookmarking sites and view some videos. This will be followed by a staff preview and party for our new Surviving Australia exhibition that opens the next day so come along for the arvo and enjoy our hospitality!

At 6:21pm on June 19th, 2008, Linda Young said…: Hi Lynda - love your blog etc - just wish I had time to really browse - hopeless time of year right now, but I'll eventually explore. I find it quite hard to keep students participating on our own Deakin subject-specific forum! They're all so damn busy with work, children and study, they don't have time to pause, read, think and participate. Gosh, that sounds like me, too!

Lynda, would you be available for a visit and chat on Friday 27 June, 2.30 or 3 (I get in at 1.30)? Love to hear about current forms of life at the AM - have just been browsing its annual report, following up a student essay reference... I love been inspired by students to investigate further!

At 5:10pm on June 15th, 2008, Lynda Kelly said…: Hi there. My understandig is that they need to make sure they have turned on the Reply envelope down the bottom of tha page that says something like 'Notify me when someone replies'. The pain is that you need to do it for each discussion (I think?). I don't really know how to add an RSS feed out, I only know how to feed RSS in.

You could try the ning creators network group for advice. I also looked at the help centre where there is a section on RSS feeds - seems there is the capacity to do it on a public network but as it states "Private networks do not generate RSS feeds to protect the privacy of their members."

At 4:46pm on June 15th, 2008, Mal Booth said…: hey again, any tips on how to get the RSS feed in ning switched on? we've had a ning network at work for a while now to allow staff to get used to what these networks are capable of and reduce the need for more useless meetings (my creation) and it is starting to get busy, but there is no RSS feed for people that would allow a feed reader (not email) to let them know when something new has happened. i've had a long look around and maybe it comes with a premium account. i'm trying to arrange that too but our finance section hae taken a week so far to not reply to my request to use the corporate credit card to make the $20 monthly subscription! talk about the dark ages in some areas!
