Electric Connections Conference
The attached announcement and registration form tells
staff from Library, Archives, Museums, and elsewhere
about the upcoming COSMIC and SPEIR 'Electric Connections'
conference. This will include a number of exciting events,
including the relaunch of a new improved CAIRNS and
a session on the proposed Scottish Distributed Digital
Library and its relationship to regional initiatives
such as the Glasgow Digital Library. A must for anyone
who needs to stay in touch with the developments and
initiatives that will influence the development of
'Virtual Scotland'.
There is also an invitation to those hosting other
relevant projects and initiatives to attend and
present or demonstrate. Note that this is currently
assumed not to include commercial companies but it can
include relevant initiatives where the resources involved
are hardcopy rather than electronic if, for example, they
are or will be searchable through CAIRNS or SCONE.
The conference is free (apart from travel) thanks to SLIC
funding of the SPEIR project but you MUST REGISTER to avoid
disappointment since numbers will be limited to about 80.
See the attached document for details.
Cheers
Dennis
