- Abstract
- Much of the communications infrastructure and support resources developed for the GLAM-Wiki community were created as part of the early international GLAM-Wiki community in 2010-12, including The This Month in GLAM Newsletter, the Cultural Partners and GLAM mailing lists, and documentation on Outreach Wiki. Following the model of the Education Program Communications survey, the GLAM-Wiki team at the Wikimedia Foundation would like to conduct a communications survey through multiple stakeholder groups during the upcoming year, including GLAM professionals, On-Wiki and staff at the Wikimedia Foundation and Affiliates.
This workshop session will focus on identifying the questions that such a survey should ask based on the needs of of the Wikimedia community and its partners for understanding the GLAM-Wiki Space. The workshop will ask some open questions:
- What gaps do you see in the current branding and visual needs of Wikimedia communities and partners?
- What communications channels should we evaluate?
- How effective are materials on Outreach and for implementing GLAM-Wiki projects?
- What materials are missing support and communications materials, including metrics, how to guides, outreach materials, etc.
- Questions about goals, outcomes and opportunities for expanding GLAM-Wiki work.
This session will focus on workshoping the needs of the GLAM-Wiki community in better understanding the communications needs of Wikimedia communities.
