Many thanks for making such recordings available, Nick,
i have taken part in webinars before but not yet one of yours. They
can be most useful and I am sure yours are at the top of such a list! I
look forward to taking a look at that link.
Regards,
David Lingard
Hon.
Curator, Dartmouth Museum

> Dear Michael (and MCGers!),

> Many thanks for your message. I wanted to reply to the whole list to ask
> for views on how we proceed with these webinars, since this was very
> much a pilot effort and we are interested in whether or not to take them
> forward.
>
> The webinar yesterday was actually the 4th in a series, which has
> included sessions on IPR and licensing and managing archives in museums.
> We promoted them through every platform, channel and network we could
> find over the past 2 months, but apart from yesterday's, which had
> around 50 participants, they have not been well attended.
>
> We do have recordings of the webinars, and the recordings of the
> previous three are accessible from
> http://www.collectionslink.org.uk/events/collections-management-webinars
> . We will post the recording of yesterday's in around a week's time.
>
> While feedback from delegates has been very positive, I wanted to ask
> for peoples' views on the following:
>
> - Are there better ways of publicising these things so that people know
> they are happening? We post on sector email lists, websites, through
> networks, social media and other platforms, but still people commonly
> say that they hadn't heard about them!
>
> - Are people generally able to engage in webinars? Noting Michael's
> point about open-plan offices, is this something people are likely to
> attend at a specific time, or would it be better to forego the webinar
> format and go straight to a Powerpoint and audio track, which you can
> watch at any time and stop and start at your convenience?
>
> Many thanks to Nico Tyack for an excellent session yesterday, and to
> everyone that was able to join us. I look forward to any and all views
> on where we go next with webinars, either on-list or directly to me!
