Powerhouse Museum i Sydney, Australia, har gjort seg synlig gjennom den sosiale webben – blant annet ved å kombinere faglig beskrivelse med brukernes tagging av gjenstander.
Lorcan Dempsey summerte nylig opp et foredrag av Sebastian Chan fra dette museet (29. april).
Lambton Bowling Club
The most tagged object, a badge commemorating Lambton Bowling Club’s 75th Anniversary (registration number 89/591), has been tagged 10 times with a mix of aesthetic (kangaroo, marsupial, parrot, rosella), material (enamel), descriptive (membership badges, bowling club, anniversary, badge) and social (Australiana) terms:
Erfaringene fra Sydney illustrerer levende – synes jeg – hvordan korg-faget kan utnytte to-null-tankegangen til å styrke sin brukerorientering.
The formal object record for this badge has two images but no statement of significance, no production or history notes, and only a very basic one-line description and dimensions. In this case, the user keywords offer alternative means to discover the object given the lack of other object data.
Girls need modems
Fotografen – the waving cat – sier:
If I remember it right, Girls Need Modems was one of the first computer magazines from a feminist perspective, or one of the first issues of a similar magazines.
