- Information 24/7 (office hours)

- Info present everywhere (institution)

- Social – network (broadcasting)

Things have changed…

- People share knowledge and creativity

- People wants to do stuff - active

- ”We want information here and now!”

- Most people don’t know of your site!

- People know stuff that you don’t!

- People prefer sites where they can interact!

And…

What NHB have been doing?

• Infrastructure – co-search, distribution

• Open data (OpenGov, OpenGlam, PSI, Inspire)

• Digital storytelling

• Collaborate with Wikipedia, Europeana etc

(more facilitator, less DIY)

”Pros can improveWikipedia”

”Why would agencies still print

informationsheets no one finds? Or

create web sites that nobody visits?”

”Why not just accept that people get

their information from Wikipedia!”
