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 [[log in to unmask]] and also the Preparators list serve PACIN ListServ" <[log in to unmask]   I'd be keenly interested to hear of others.
 
All best,
Jackie

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)?
