POST: No Holds Barred Advice from Tom Scheinfeldt 1

Tom ScheinfeldtĀ shares some thoughts about how he evaluated a ā€œvenerable cultural heritage institution’sā€ digital program. Scheinfeldt’s appraisal offers cultural heritage institutions a useful roadmap for considering what digital programs need to be successful and relevant, such as an integrated social strategy and mobile strategies. Above all, Scheinfeldt reminds us that ā€œDigital is not a revenue center, it’s an operating cost like the reading room, or the permanent galleries, or the education department. You shouldn’t expect increased revenues from a website redesign any more than you should from a new coat of paint for the front door.ā€
