Hi David-
One of the largest groups for more general museum discussions is
Museum-L. You can sign up here: http://www.lsoft.com/scripts/wl.exe?SL1=MUSEUM-L&H=HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM
. This is a topic that has come up quite a bit in recent years, and you may
want to search their archive as well.

Subject: Non-TMS, Museum related question
Hello
everyone,
This
isn’t TMS related, so if you want to reply off list, that is probably the best
way to do it.
My
question has to do with policies regarding access to social networking sites at
your institution. By social networking, I mean Facebook, Myspace,
LinkedIn, etc. Does your organization allow them? If not, why not?
For
the longest time, MOCA has prevented most of the staff from accessing social
networking sites. They have been blocked mostly do to security concerns,
and also bandwidth concerns (ie, links to YouTube and other streaming
video). There is some discussion about allowing access to them, and part
of that discussion involves an interest in knowing what sort of policies other
organizations have. I’m interested in whatever anyone has to say on the
subject.
On
a related tangent, are there other listserv or similar resources for more
general museum discussions (like this one)?
