Survey Invitation – How important is user-created content for memory
institutions?
User-created content is an integral part of the online experience. From
slideshows on Flickr to articles on Wikipedia, from discussions on Twitter
to cat videos on YouTube, millions of users produce and disseminate new
content every day. Very often this micro-production takes place outside of
institutions but some successful pioneers have shown that user-created
content can become a valuable resource for galleries, libraries, archives
and museums.
We are interested in finding out how important user-created content is for
our sector: Who uses it and how? Who doesn't use it and why not? What can
we learn from each other and what kind of services could the Europeana
Network offer to turn user-created content into true assets for its
stakeholders?
No matter if you are a member of Europeana or not, if you are curious to
know how important user-created content is for the GLAM community then
please complete our survey until the 28th of May. It only takes 8 minutes
and we will share the results with you this autumn on the LinkedIn page of
the Europeana Network, the Europeana Pro Blog and during the annual general
meeting of the Europeana Network:
