Based on an analysis of 222 instagrams created in the museum, as well as 14 interviews with the visitors who created them, we unpack the compositional resources and concerns contributing to the creation of instagrams in this particular context. By re-categorizing and re-configuring the museum environment, instagrammers work to construct their own narratives from their visits. These findings are then used to discuss what emerging multimedia practices imply for the visitors' engagement with and documentation of museum exhibits.

Less attention has been devoted to the cultural sector, wherein SM have been widely emphasized as a way to empower visitors. To this purpose, the paper presents a case study of a medium-sized non-profit cultural institution, the Museum of Natural History of Florence (MNH), which has engaged relatively early with SM. First, the role of different social networks within the museum’s communication activities is analysed through direct interviews. Moreover, the intensity of the museum’s interactions with its stakeholders on SM is measured. Finally, the nature of interactions with stakeholders on SM is identified through a qualitative contents analysis of the museum’s profiles on Facebook and Twitter. The empirical analysis allows to compare the theoretical potential of Social Media with their actual implementation in a real-life context, besides shedding light on the organizational challenges that medium-sized cultural institutions such as the MNH have to face when engaging with Social Media. © 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.}, language = {English}, number = {3}, journal = {International Review on Public and Nonprofit Marketing}, author = {Lazzeretti, L. and Sartori, A. and Innocenti, N.}, year = {2015}, keywords = {Communication, importante, Interactivity, Museums, Social Media}, pages = {267--283}, file = {SCOPUS Snapshot:C\:\\Users\\Michele Pola\\AppData\\Roaming\\Zotero\\Zotero\\Profiles\\t8qondoq.default\\zotero\\storage\\DCSMMWBP\\display.html:text/html} } @article{claes_social_2014, title = {Social museums: {Social} media profiles in {Twitter} and {Facebook} 2012-2013}, volume = {23}, issn = {1386-6710}, shorttitle = {Museos sociales. {Perfiles} museísticos en {Twitter} y {Facebook} 2012-2013}, doi = {10.3145/epi.2014.nov.06}, abstract = {The results of a study on the development of a museum-2.0 or social museums and the communication between these organizations and their virtual visitors are presented.

We assessed which social media sites are being used, to what purpose, and how this use is being evaluated. To determine which museums are using social media to increase participant engagement toward relationship maintenance, we collected 315 online surveys among American museums, and conducted nine in-depth interviews with professionals currently working with social media. Results indicate that American museum professionals believe becoming involved with social media is important. Museums are still mostly involved with one-way communication strategies using Facebook and Twitter to focus on event listing, reminders, and reaching larger or newer audiences by increasing the number of fans and promotional messaging. There is some evidence to suggest museums are trying to increase their use of social media for multi-way communication strategies. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.}, language = {English}, number = {5}, journal = {Museum Management and Curatorship}, author = {Fletcher, A. and Lee, M.J.}, year = {2012}, keywords = {American museums, multi-way communication strategies, social media management, social media uses and evaluations in museums}, pages = {505--521}, file = {SCOPUS Snapshot:C\:\\Users\\Michele Pola\\AppData\\Roaming\\Zotero\\Zotero\\Profiles\\t8qondoq.default\\zotero\\storage\\CWUPXDU3\\display.html:text/html} } @inproceedings{lin_constructing_2012, title = {Constructing narratives using fast feedback}, isbn = {978-1-4503-0782-6}, doi = {10.1145/2132176.2132258}, abstract = {Museums and cultural institutions have expended considerable effort for over decades to link their exhibits to the life experiences of their visitors.

The study presented in this paper is exploratory in nature and investigates the use of social and mobile technologies in school field trips as a means of enhancing the visitor experience. It is anchored in sociocultural perspectives of learning as meaning making, with a focus on mediating artefacts in the development of understanding. The Museum of London was selected as the site of the study and the participants were a Year 9 History class (13–14 years old) in a secondary school in Milton Keynes. The paper considers evidence of meaning making from students’ online posts on Twitter (http://twitter.com) and activity on-site. Observational data, the visit's Twitter stream and post-visit interview data with the participants are presented and analysed. A mixed-method approach is employed to interpret the museum visit and examine young people's experience in the museum. Such an approach allows useful insights and shapes the understanding of how social and mobile technologies have an impact on the social dynamics of a school trip to a museum. Specifically, it explains the role of such tools in fostering the social interactions around museum artefacts and ultimately the process of shared construction of meaning making. Practitioner Notes What is already known about this topic * School field trips are an important means of introducing young people to museum collections and have long-term learning impact and influence perceptions. * Learning in museums is conceptualised as the construction of meaning. Making meaning is a social practice—people engage with their environment and each other through “socially made and culturally specific resources, in ways that arise out of their interests” (Kress, ). * Facilitating the visitors’ meaning-making process is key to introducing new technologies in museums (Kaptelinin, ). * Use of mobile tools in museum facilitates inquiry activities such as exploration, information search, communication and experience documenting (Hsi, ). * Many information technologies implemented in museum and field trips fail to meet the real needs of their users (Gammon \& Burch, ) and may appear to isolate visitors and inhibit social interaction (vom Lehn \& Heath, ). What this paper adds * Explores the use of social and mobile technologies at the interface of formal and informal contexts in K-12 education. * Provides an example of “enforced” mobile usage (Rushby, ) with empirical evidence on how social and mobile technologies could be integrated in school field trips to museums. * Focuses on a learning design that allows learners to switch between different contexts (offline/online; individual/social; formal/informal) and extend the social spaces in which learners interact with each other. * Employs a mixed-method approach in analysing content generated online in a school visit to a museum. * Contributes to a research agenda for mobile learning and particularly in designing and studying “seamless learning spaces”. Implications for practice and/or policy * The findings will contribute to museum education initiatives for effective use of social and mobile tools within school programmes. * Indicates the potential of the “interconnected opinion space” and “archival space” in designing museum programmes for meaning making across contexts. * Highlights the need to develop more effective pedagogic strategies that will anticipate and encourage the ways that young people use social and mobile technologies and at the same time minimise the tension between the contexts, the content and the mediation tools.}, language = {en}, number = {5}, urldate = {2015-10-07}, journal = {British Journal of Educational Technology}, author = {Charitonos, Koula and Blake, Canan and Scanlon, Eileen and Jones, Ann}, month = sep, year = {2012}, keywords = {importante}, pages = {802--819}, file = {Full Text PDF:C\:\\Users\\Michele Pola\\AppData\\Roaming\\Zotero\\Zotero\\Profiles\\t8qondoq.default\\zotero\\storage\\A8HSFAWJ\\Charitonos et al. - 2012 - Museum learning via social and mobile technologies.pdf:application/pdf;Snapshot:C\:\\Users\\Michele Pola\\AppData\\Roaming\\Zotero\\Zotero\\Profiles\\t8qondoq.default\\zotero\\storage\\D2GR5JPQ\\abstract.html:text/html} }
