Hi: 
 
We are blocked from networking sites I believe the reason to be due to
employee efficiency than anything else.  Yes the Registrars List serve
of the AAM provides a wealth of info Registrars Committee of the AAM

ListServ" <[log in to unmask]   I'd be keenly interested to hear
of others. 
 
All best,

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)?
