Social Media

edit
  • GLAM-Wiki US Blog: Last updated in 2012, the vision for this blog was to provide GLAM-Wiki FAQ information in approachable, digestible blog posts, which are easier for GLAM professionals to access and share.
- Audience: GLAM professionals.
  • GLAM-Wiki US Facebook Page: This is the brand page, which means that only admins can post updates. It has had updates on a monthly basis, but requires much more consistency in the number of posts. The Facebook algorithm makes it nearly impossible for those who like the page to have it served up in their newsfeeds, because Facebook doesn't favor brand pages. This page is therefore less useful at this point.
- Audience: GLAM professionals and Wikimedians. 1,087 followers as of March 2015.
  • GLAM-Wiki US Facebook Group: This is the public group, which means that all group members can post and discuss GLAM-related content. This also provides the option to create events and files that can be easily shared on Facebook. This group is more useful and relevant at this point.
- Audience: Highly involved GLAM-Wikimedians. 75 members as of March 2015.
  • @glamwiki: The @glamwiki Twitter account is a global account that is run by whoever is interested in running it! A few key GLAM-Wiki members have access to the password, including Lori Phillips, Dominic McDevitt-Parks, Alex Hinojo, and Liam Wyatt. Others may also have access.
- Audience: A highly-visible platform for public engagement, this account has 1,895 followers as of March 2015. It is not consistently active, but has much potential if it were to remain active.
