Good afternoon,
LMLAG - the London Museum Librarians and Archivists Group - is
organising a one-day conference on Thursday 26 April 2007 9.30-16.30, BP
Theatre, British Museum, Great Russell Street, London WC1B 3DG.
"All Change" will look at web, digital and electronic knowledge-sharing
developments, the opportunities and challenges they bring for museum
libraries and archives, and how to exploit these opportunities, even
when resources are limited. The pros and cons of collaborative
partnerships will be discussed. There will be sessions on the impact
that new information-sharing developments are having on the physical
study spaces and services that libraries and archives provide.
A unique group of speakers from the academic, museum and other sectors
will include:
John Dolan, Head of Library Policy at MLA.
Brian Kelly, UK Web Focus, UKOLN (Web 2.0 and low cost service
development opportunities)
Graham Higley, Biodiversity Heritage Library Project (a global network
with museum participation)
Michael Popham, Oxford Digital Library (lessons of the Google Books
project)
James Strachan, Director of Public Services & Marketing, TNA (user-led
online initiatives)
Pat Christie, University of the Arts (innovation in physical study
environments)
Caroline Warhurst, London's Transport Museum (making the best of
small spaces and budgets)
The conference will interest researchers, students, librarians,
curators, archivists, and learning specialists - in fact all who use, or
work in, museum libraries and archives or are interested in their future
development.
