[Mdl] MDL: Please announce Social Side of Reflections

[Marian Rengel]

Dear Minnesota Digital Library listserv  members:

Our first week of using the new comment feature at ³Minnesota Reflections²
went well enough that we would like to announce the feature to people across
the state.

Please share the following information with any Minnesota-centered listserv
that you participate in.


The Minnesota Digital Library is pleased to announce that people may now
comment on the images in our ³Minnesota Reflections² collection. The MDL
designed a wiki site that allows us to provide this resource. Look at a
photo, map or document, click on the ³comment on this item² and leave your
comments.

We are looking for public support in providing information on the items in
our collection and we would like people to ask questions and share stories.

Here¹s what you need to do:

€ Visit Minnesota Reflections ( http://reflections.mndigital.org/ )

€ Search for items you want to view.

€ When you are looking at an individual photo, document or map, you will see
a button in the blue menu bar above the image. The button is red with yellow
type.

€ Click on that button and you will go to a wiki page. From there, comment
as you like on that particular object.

No registration is required. We do ask people to focus their comments on the
item in the collection.

The Minnesota Digital Library will monitor comments. This is still a
prototype service. We are still designing it and answering questions about
how to share the information people provide.

If you have general comments, suggestions or insights to offer regarding the
Social Side of Reflections, please send them to Marian Rengel, MDL outreach
coordinator (mrrengel at stcloudstate.edu).

Thanks for helping the MDL with the project and have fun.
