Survey Results
November 2, 2015

Survey Results

We are excited to share with you some results from our survey about your reading and viewing preferences! First, though, we want to thank you for taking the time to write down your comments, and for volunteering for guest posts. We should have some interesting posts coming your way soon!

Second, the survey is still open, and we are always checking it for updates so we can stay on top of what you deem important. So if you haven’t taken it yet and want to, or you just feel like changing an aspect of your response (since we know you have nothing better to do with your free time), feel free to follow this link.

Now, for results:

  • Many of you commented that you enjoyed the new layout of the blog. We’re still tweaking around with it, so if you have suggestions, let us know!
  • We got many comments on the helpfulness of the job postings. Since people are reading and noticing the job postings, if you have one you’d like posted on the blog, please email us at tufts.museum.blog@gmail.com
  • The majority of our readers access the blog through their computer browser (not the mobile site). We’re happy you want to view any way, but we’ve managed to make the mobile site more readable as well, if you want to check that out.
  • We had a lot of interest in posts about student led projects, which we were not expecting. Due to these responses, we’ve reached out to various classes in the Museum Studies program and hope to be bringing you posts from different classes. You’ll be able to read about students’ takes on issues in museums as well as get a sense of what different classes offer. We are also exploring the option of having professors or current students write reviews of their course so that you can see what a class might be like before you decide to take it (if you’re a student!). We’ll keep you updated on that front.

  • Some of you commented that the job postings can be confusing, if you don’t know where each museum is. Because of this, we’re more consistent about posting the city and state in the heading. We’re still working on a better way to coordinate the postings by region, so stay tuned!
