Seit 1998 wird mit der JIM-Studie im jährlichen Turnus eine Basisstudie zum Umgang von 12- bis 19-Jährigen mit Medien und Information durchgeführt. Neben einer aktuellen Standortbestimmung sollen die Daten zur Erarbeitung von Strategien und Ansatzpunkte für neue Konzepte in den Bereichen Bildung, Kultur und Arbeit dienen.

Museums are quickly adapting to Web 2.0, and engaging with a new on-line audience. Social media projects are being developed and used by museum staff, and curators are starting to explore this new space. When the Powerhouse Museum's curatorial department created their first blog, they had no idea what they were in for, or what challenges they would face. They also had little idea of how curators as a whole are participating in social media activities. This paper will use the Powerhouse Museum's 'Object of the Week' blog and a major international survey of curators to investigate how social media activities are impacting on curatorial practice.

This report describes the demographic characteristics of U.S. adults that participated in the arts (such as concerts, plays, and dance performances) via electronic media (e.g., TV, radio, computers and portable media devices) in 2008, based on the Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA). Separately, the report examines broad categories of arts participation via Internet. The report also investigates factors contributing to the likelihood of some Americans experiencing art through media. Finally, the report considers the relationship between media-based arts activities and other types of arts participation, such as live attendance and personal arts creation. June 2010. 146 pp.

Super, das ist ja ein toller und hilfreicher Report, danke fürs Aufspüren. ;-)

Research has shown that when consumers meet their characters in different media contexts their bonds are strengthened. It's like bumping into your CEO at an amusement park.

This article provides an overview for anyone producing content about these two options. We argue that most content producers should focus on the mobile web, especially if they want to make their content more widely accessible. Mobile apps may be appropriate if looking for new sources of revenue, or deep user engagement, but many other factors make the mobile web the more sensible platform for most content producers.

I have finally taken the time to read newly-published -quite newly, mid-September 2010- Horizon Report on Museums by the Marcus Institute for Digital Education in the Arts (MIDEA), the arts branch of the New Media Consortium.

Meine Hypothese ist, dass heutzutage die Möglichkeiten des sogenannten Web 2.0 von Museen respektive ausstellenden Institutionen unterschätzt werden. Folglich wird das Potenzial vieler, freier Kommunikationsmittel nicht ausgeschöpft.13 Demzufolge werde ich mich in meiner Masterthesis mit diesen drei Fragestellung auseinandersetzen: Was ist der State of the Art im Umgang mit dem Web 2.0 und konkret im Umgang mit Social Media für Museen? Wie machen sich das MoMA in New York und die Serpentine Gallery in London diese Social Media-Tools für ihre Kommunikation zu Nutzen? Davon ausgehend, Social Media wäre für Museen relevant, wie ist sodann damit umzugehen und auf was ist zu achten?

With the rise of new media a paradigm shift has occurred in the time when people "consume" museums. In the old days people would pick a specific moment to visit a museum. Maybe dress up a bit, make it a day out. On an average they would pick two, maybe three moments a year to spend time with museums. Nowadays, using Twitter and Facebook, we try to make people interact with museums twenty-four seven. They don't even have to be dressed to "visit" a museum.

Die „digitalen Außenseiter" sind in Deutschland in der Überzahl. Laut der zweiten Ausgabe der Studie „Die digitale Gesellschaft - sechs Nutzertypen im Vergleich" beläuft sich die Zahl der Deutschen, die noch nicht fest im Sattel der neuen Medien sitzen auf zwei Drittel. Auch wenn gemäß der Studie der Initiative D21 der Anteil der kompetenten Internetnutzer binnen eines Jahres von 26 auf 37 Prozent stieg, ist das Ergebnis ernüchternd

Museum2.0 Das Jahr 2010 endet bald. Es war ein schnelles und dynamisches Jahr im Museumsbereich. Das Thema Social Web platzierteDas Thema Social Media steht auch bei Kultureinrichtungen ganz oben auf der Agenda. Diese Schlussfolgerung ließe sich ziehen, schaut man sich das sprunghafte Ansteigen von Twitter-Accounts und Facebook-Fanseiten seitens der Kultureinrichtungen innerhalb des vergangenen Jahres an. sich mit rasanter Schnelligkeit. Einige Projekte habe ich mitbetreut oder iniitiiert, bei manchen habe ich mitgeholfen oder sie schlichtweg beobachtet. Dass Museen sich nun vermehrt um das Thema Social Web kümmern, ist eine Notwendigkeit, wenn man bedenkt, das beispielsweise "Facebook" der am meist gegoogelte Begriff 2010 in Deutschland war. Museen müssen Präsenz im Social Web zeigen. Dies wird auch das Jahr 2011 (und die darauf folgenden Jahre!) zeigen.

Museum 2.0: iPod application for visitors .. The museum will provide visitors with an iPod Touch that has a detailed guide to the collection. TNO carried out the research and advised on the application.

"A recently launched service in Germany called PaperC (Twitter: @Paper_c) looks like it might become a pretty handy resource for students and researchers. It is an online library of commonly used textbooks for studying. You can read all of them online for free, but you can also download PDFs, make notes and bookmarks, and copy and paste quotes. The latter functions cost something, but not much. A PDF of 10 pages costs 1 Euro. The idea is not that it replaces books, as such, but replaces the photocopier. So far they have 2,799 books in their library."

It's been a good year for Twitter, and not merely because the company announced yesterday it has secured another huge round of funding. The microblogging platform has grown by over 100 million users this year and expanded its staff from 130 to 350 people. And it's rolled out major redesigns and improvements to its site, mobile apps and APIs.
