The Icon Care of Collections Group is focusing our 2025 events on this topic in partnership with other impacted professional GLAM organisations. To gain an understanding of the positives and challenges of currently used systems both integrated and stand alone, the CCG committee is gathering information through a short survey. We request one response per United Kingdom organisation whether large or small. https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=uXm6DyNkDUaI7_nD1Moun7wkfIQ5KJ9MuKIVwZmJ_KVURE5JTElENVVDUTlOWEhHTEtRV1RXUU9MRy4u&route=shorturl Survey closes Monday, 2 December, 2024. ------------------------------ Meagen Smith Library and archive conservator Lambeth Palace Library ------------------------------ You are subscribed to "Global Conservation Forum (ConsDistList)" as [email protected].
