Usenet,Facebook,Twitter. But still the blog carries on. Just not very often.
A mix of random things that I want to write something about, and then more often things relating to digital cultural heritage. Then sometimes, some cooking posts. It's my blog, I don't have to please any algorithm here.
There are some interesting points (library/archive focused but mostly generalisable cross the cultural sector) in Roger C. Schonfeld's post on the JSTOR blog - The purpose of stewarding distinctive collections: discovery and impact and especially for the future of collections sites this paragraph is relevant:
Discovery deepens when secondary literature and primary sources are integrated. In the scientific and quantitative fields, there are growing efforts to link datasets with journal articles. For the humanities, arts, and social sciences (HASS), the parallel opportunity is bi-directional linking of archival and special collections materials with critical context and analysis in scholarly monographs and journal articles. This is more than “linking” in a simple sense: it enables context-driven discovery that supports deeper exploration and interpretation, rather than more atomized access to discrete items.
For museum object pages the idea they can become the hub for links to on-going work/literature in the wider world and across institutions seems a big step forward from the 90s object page paradigm we are still mostly stuck in. But it does require researchers and those in the cultural sector to align on goals and implementation (i.e. how to automatically find references to an object discussed in a journal article), which is often where GLAM/Academic collaboration plans fall apart.
