The IMA blog staff is filled with all types. Some of them know their blog topics weeks ahead of time. Some work at a steady pace and figure out an idea a couple of days in advance. Some (me) usually wait until the last minute. I realized this yesterday and turned to Twitter and Facebook for inspiration. Some suggestions were inappropriate for an IMA post, some were funny, some were thoughtful, and I had a lot of people suggest blogging about IMA’s Deaccessioned artwork page. Yes it’s cool….it’s transparent….it’s many things….but I had absolutely nothing to do with it. If you do want more info, bug Charlie or IMA’s registration department- bravo to everyone involved in that project.
Thinking about that page led me to think more broadly about IMA’s main website. Inside the museum, the IMA site is a major topic of conversation amongst the web team. We’re in the planning stages for a web redesign of imamuseum.org. This will include a better calendar system, better integration of digital content, a new collection page and lots more bells and whistles I can’t mention right now. This process has really made me consider one word and one section: Interact.
