Hello,
It was exciting to host a lively conversation at the last MCN conference
about Libraries, Archives and Museums (topics: [1]; slides: [2]). I am
happy to see that many colleagues are interested in tearing down the
barriers between bibliographical, archival and collection records within
museums, as well as promoting the exchange of information and
technologies between Cultural Heritage institutions.
I think the session sparked quite some interest and raised important
topics from many of the participants. I also believe that this
conversation needs to be brought forward.
This mailing list may be a good place to follow up that conversation. I
would love to propose a similar session for next MCN, actually even
closer to a round-table discussion than to a panel.
If enough people are interested, I would also propose to create a
special interest group for this topic. Goal of the SIG would be torefine
the core topics that we brought up at the conference using this mailing
list, and then meet in person at the next MCN with a distilled down list
of action items.
Anyone interested in this proposal is welcome to respond.
Thanks,
Stefano
