Abstract
Review of Museum Websites and Social Media: Issues of Participation, Sustainability, Trust and Diversity by Ana Luisa Sánchez Laws. In this volume, Ana Luisa Sánchez Laws makes an important contribution to the discussion of how digital heritage can contribute to the sustainable development of local and distributed communities (17) through the careful deployment of social media programs that build trust relationships between experts and non-experts. Throughout the volume, Sánchez Laws returns to several important questions facing all museums in the digital realm: how can digital technology and social media be leveraged to increase audience participation while navigating the challenges of representing a diverse set of viewpoints regarding the presentation of objects and spaces; and how can inclusive approaches to meaning-making increase community connections and research value while building trust relationships?
