Collaboration Within and Across Sectors
Chaired by Jim Michalko, OCLC Research Library Partnership Vice President

Digital heritage services are often built from a specific sectoral perspective. The difference sectors (libraries, archives, and museums) have different perspectives on digitization and digital infrastructures. This session brings together these different perspectives and complements them with the lessons learned of 50 years of digitization activities by a government.
