The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) invites you to help invent the future of museums and libraries through your participation in UpNext: The Future of Museums and Libraries Wiki. IMLS’s first-ever wiki is a platform where individuals inside and outside of museums, libraries, and related fields can discuss, dissect, expand, and inform the issues outlined in the Future of Museums and Libraries: A Discussion Guide. IMLS will use the knowledge shared in the wiki to help shape the agency’s strategic plan, research directions, publications, convenings, and grant making. The wiki officially launched today, March 3 and will be accepting comments until May 12th, 2010.
The Goals for this wiki:
- Share ideas, resources and projects that help libraries and museums plan for the future and take action;
- Encourage cross disciplinary conversation and engage experts as well as emerging professionals;
- Use a 2.0 communications strategy to engage citizens in government;
- Provide IMLS with input to consider for its strategic plan and to inform future IMLS research, publications, convening and grantmaking.
