Scientists, researchers and scholars across the UK generate increasingly
vast amounts of digital data. JISC and EPSRC have funded the establishment
of a Digital Curation Centre (DCC) to support curation activities within UK
institutions that create, store, manage and/or preserve these data. For more
information on the DCC, please see http://www.dcc.ac.uk.
To evaluate the level of current curation activity and the DCC’s
effectiveness in raising awareness regarding digital curation issues, we
would like to invite you to complete our on-line survey. Whatever your role
in the life-cycle of digital information – from researchers to archivists to
data re-users - we would like to hear from you. The survey will take
between 15 and 20 minutes to complete and as a small token of our
appreciation, we are offering one lucky entrant the chance to win an iPod
nano (competition rules apply).
The results of this survey, together with the results of focus groups and
one-to-one interviews will help us to determine how we might better serve
the digital curation, preservation, and eScience communities.
To complete the on-line survey, please go to
http://www.dcc.ac.uk/adding/public_survey/.
The deadline for completing this survey is July 28th, 2006.

The Digital Arts Forum Website is a new site which offers its members the
opportunity to publish news, events and weblogs, as well as take part in
discussions, forums and online chat.
The Digital Arts Forum is aimed primarily at digital artists and arts
workers in the East Midlands region of the UK, although we welcome input
from members elsewhere. The Forum is managed by Gareth Howell, Digital Arts
Development worker at Arts and Technology Partnerships in Loughborough.
The Digital Arts Forum provides a meeting ground for digital artists and
arts professionals to discuss work, strategy and development. Through its
regular meetings and email discussion lists, it aims to bring together a
network of artists to develop collaborations and partnerships which will
build the quality and profile of digital arts in the region
