Unlocking Scottish collections on-line: projects revealed
An Invitation to a RSLP dissemination event
12-4 pm Tuesday 18 June 2002
Wolfson Research Centre Level 3
University of Glasgow Library
An invitation to all academics and information professionals.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Over the last three years Research Support Library Programme
(RSLP) projects have been putting important research collections
in Scotland on-line. This event will reveal the results of these
projects, giving academics and information professionals an
opportunity to try out the new on-line resources. Project workers
will also be on hand to demonstrate the resources and answer
questions.
The projects cover a wide range of research collections in the
humanities and social sciences, including :
architectural records
scientific records
maps
personal health records
higher education records
photographs
polemic pamphlets
These projects provide resource material for a diverse range of
research themes including:
archaeology
architecture
cartographic history
cultural history
education
environmental studies
history of science, technology and the environment
historical geography
intellectual history
landscape and buildings
medical history
medicine
political and economic history
theology
The day will also demonstrate emerging policy on collaborative
collection management, including effective models for building and
sustaining a co-ordinated distributed nationwide resource and
recommendations on solutions to the problem of cross-searching
and browsing by subject across communities, such as archives,
libraries, museums, online information services, HE and FE.
The event is organised by SUSCAG: Scottish Universities Special
Collections & Archives Group
(http://www.archives.gla.ac.uk/suscag/default.html)
and SCURL: Scottish Confederation of University and Research
Libraries (http://scurl.ac.uk/about/about.html). This is their first
collaborative event.
Tea and coffee will be available all afternoon and there will be a
sandwich lunch from 1-2pm.
Ronald Milne, Director of RSLP will introduce a programme of
demonstrations at 2pm.
The finalised programme of events will be found on the SUSCAG
website
(http://www.archives.gla.ac.uk/suscag/default.html) .
