    Economical Websites: Do You Need Help? Blogs, Flickr, YouTube, Facebook, MySpace - Using Free Social Networks for Museums

    These days, museum professionals are expected to know everything about websites. Yet, many don't monitor their museum's website and pay others to make changes to it. And, oh those pesky questions board members always ask: How can I see my donation on the web? Why are you on MySpace -- MPMA Museums MySpace -- and not on a more 'current' site? Why did our museum website address just become an on-line drug store? How can we save money by using email? Couldn't you just do that blog in your extra time? Get answers to these questions and see how you can save money and be more web effective.
