Libraries, Archives and Museums—Converging for Real
Our users ask for access to information unhampered by arbitrary boundaries between libraries, archives and museums. Yale, Princeton, the Smithsonian, the University of Edinburgh, and the Victoria and Albert Museum have been working at breaking down the wall s between their collections. Each of these institutions strives to present a holistic view of all collections regardless of where they are housed or how they are managed. Attendees learned about what has worked and what has not. Presenters included:
Meg Bellinger, Director of the Office of Digital Assets and Infrastructure, Yale University
John Scally, Director of University Collections, University of Edinburgh
Cathryn Goodwin, Manager, Collection Information and Access, Princeton University Art Museum
Moderated by: Jennifer Schaffner, OCLC Research Location: McCormick Place West W-190b Contact: jennnifer_schaffne@oclc.org |
