******************************************************************
By April 2003, MLA West Midlands: the regional council for museums,
libraries and archives will be established.
To be effective the new organisation needs to know more about the resources
available and the needs of the three domains.
West Midlands Regional Museums Council (WMRMC), on behalf of The Libraries
Partnership – West Midlands (TLP-WM) and the West Midlands Regional Archives
Council (WMRAC) would like to commission 2 key pieces of cross-domain
research work between now and April 2003:
1) "Funding for Learning" - this will identify the key funding opportunities
and initiatives that exist for learning and recommend which ones MLA West
Midlands and the 3 domains should target.
2) "Improving Access" - this will identify the key barriers as stated by
organisations such as the Social Exclusion Unit, Resource etc. and identify
good examples of creative solutions in this country, Europe and beyond. A
seminar will be held in January which gets people involved in agreeing the
key barriers, assessing the case studies collected and translating the key
success factors to their own organisations as well as submitting and
discussing their own solutions.
A fee of £10,00 is offered for each research project.
Deadline for submissions of interest - Friday 4th October 2002
Interviews in Birmingham - Monday 14th October 2002
