[MCN-L] CSR at Museums
Dear All, I know that this is not a computer/tech related enquiry, for which apologies, but I have little other gateway to colleagues out there I am working on a small project investigating introducing CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) to the Museum, and specifically looking at setting up a pilot project where Museum staff volunteer for an organisation working in the local community. I am interested to know if any other museums had done similar projects in the past, whether under the heading of CSR or not, or have a wider CSR policy or strategy in place. Do contact me off list.

[MCN-L] Exhibitions of the Royal Photographic Society 1870-1915
[Apologies for cross posting my reply!] Congratulations Stephen, this looks great. It also overlaps beautifully with a database we've just (very belatedly, like more than 2 years belatedly) put online, at www.photolondon.org.uk/default.asp. This is built on the huge work undertaken by photographic historian David Webb, who has collated biographical information on thousands of people in the photographic industry in Victorian London. I would love to investigate with you how we might link the two datasets together (I'm already itching to RESTify the search engine). Looking through the list of exhibitors (http://erps.dmu.ac.uk/exhibitors.php?char1s=Atechyn=all) and comparing it to our own I find some matches (e.g. Jessie Akhurst), though not as many as I expected. I'm sure, though, that there must be plenty of people and organisations in both sites. Given the stats and feedback we're getting from our site, I wouldn't be surprised if you find that a lot of your traffic comes from genealogy sites/interests. I'm mulling over how to maximise the benefits of this (after all, museums should be serving this aspect of social history research as much as anything), but one thing that has occurred to me is to look into hooking the site directly into the search engines of genealogy websites.

[MCN-L] FREE online/SL conference
Hi folks, I pitched this conference a couple weeks ago and wanted to share this updated information since there will be some presence in SL as well as near-hi def video streaming and a couple technology superstars involved. IT IS FREE. I think the topics covered are of significant interest to the museum community, but almost more importantly, the content, messages and insights are coming from outside the museum community...from/to the higher education community with which museum technologists share more inherent kinship than is usually recognized. I hope most of us agree that visitors from beyond our galaxy may prove very worthwhile. Thoughts on my premise or the event itself, now or post-event are welcome here or off list. Thanks. So here, from Case Western Reserve Colleagues and friends -- We're nearly sold out (250 free lunches;-) for the upcoming Collaborative Technology and Community Engagement Summit being held at Case Western Reserve University's Thwing Center on May 8th from 9 - 4. At 9 am OneCommunity unveils the new and expanded University Circle wireless mesh Live throughout University Circle, parts of East Cleveland, Cleveland Heights, and Cleveland The program features the (co)author of Wikinomics (http://www.wikinomics.com) as our lunchtime (free) keynote (Anthony Williams) and Cory Ondrejka (founder of Second Life) and more than 16 breakout sessions and 40 speakers and demonstrations. President Barbara Snyder will be offering remarks following the keynote. Registration and up to date programing information is available at http://www.case.edu/its/collabtech08/collabtech08.html For those unable to attend in person, you can participate in SecondLife http://slurl.com/secondlife/ClevelandPlus/184/107/24 once you've created your avatar (instructions available http://www.case.edu/its/services/documents/SlClevelandPLusIntro.pdf) We will also be streaming much of the event (see program for times) in new near-high definition streaming (H264) at http://mediavision.case.edu/H264/caselive.html CollabTech 08 is sponsored by Case Western Reserve University's Information Technology Services, University Libraries, UCITE, Office of the Provost, Human Resources, Council of Technology Officers, and Faculty Senate Committee on Information Resources.

[MCN-L] CSR at Museums
Matthew, The Getty has an active Community Service Team since 2000. It's headed by a person with the title Senior Project Management Coordinator. Mission: The Community Service Team cultivates new ideas for building our community within the Getty and serving the greater Los Angeles community. We are fueled by the ambition to raise awareness of community service projects at the Getty and encourage staff involvement in new endeavors. The Team leads a variety of community-related events during the year including on-site blood drives and food/toy collections during the holidays (with collections being distributed to local relief agencies). There is a list of more than 30 local arts, education, and social service related organization in the area that they have worked with. They also organize employees to participate in Revlon Run/Walk for Women, AIDS Walk/LA, National Public Lands Day, and Day With(out) Art. All meetings are open to everyone and any employee or volunteer can participate. As an employee, I find it a great way to meet people from other organizations in this large organization and to get out of my routine at least once a month for the lunch meeting. Hope this helps.

COMPUTERS, FREEDOM, AND PRIVACY: TECHNOLOGY POLICY '08 http://cfp2008.org/ 18th Annual CFP conference May 20-23, 2008 Omni Hotel New Haven, CT Conference Blog: http://cfp08.blogspot.com/ Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/groups.php?id=683858084 Conference Wiki: http://cfp.wikia.com/wiki/CFP08 LinkedIn Group: http://www.linkedin.com/e/gis/61857/7885844E0F9D Hotel Conference Discount Deadline: May 1, 2008 Early Bird Registration: Fri., May 2, 2008 YJoLT Tech Policy Essay Contest: Mon., May 5, 2008 ABOUT CFP: TECHNOLOGY POLICY `08 What should the technology policy priorities of the next administration be? As the choice of presidential candidates becomes clearer and election year moves towards a comparison of the candidates' platforms on the issues, technology policy is increasingly relevant to the forefront of public debate. In the areas of privacy, intellectual property, cybersecurity, telecommunications, and freedom of speech, topics that were once confined to experts now appear in the mainstream of political issues. We now know that our decisions about technology policy are being made at a time as the architectures of our information and communication technologies are still being built. This year, the 18th annual Computers, Freedom, and Privacy conference is focusing on those issues at the forefront of technology policy this election year. With plenary panels on the National Security State and the Next Administration and The 21st Century Panopticon? the discussions taking place look towards our present and future priorities. CFP: Technology Policy '08 is an opportunity to participate in shaping those issues being made into laws and regulations and those technological infrastructures being developed. Policies ranging from spyware and national security, to ISP filtering and patent reform, e-voting to electronic medical records, and more will be addressed by expert panels of technologists, policymakers, business leaders, and activists. The panel topics are listed below and full panel descriptions are available on the conference website at: http://www.cfp2008.org/wiki/index.php/Program. The CFP: Technology Policy `08 conversation has already begun in the virtual spaces connected to the conference. Even if you are unable to attend the conference this year, there are several opportunities to participate remotely. The guiding principles that ought to guide our policies are being debated on the conference blog. Social networking groups on Facebook and LinkedIn are providing new spaces for the CFP community to meet and discuss. The Yale Journal of Law and Technology is hosting a call for essays, on the priorities of the next administration, with more details below. We look forward to seeing you in New Haven on May 20-23.
