* DATA MATTERS! UKAD events in 2016*
UKAD Forum UKAD Workshops
Thursday 17 March 2016 Friday 18 March 2016
The National Archives Jisc, London
Dear colleagues
Next year, the UK Archives Discovery Network (UKAD) and the Archives & Records Association (UK & Ireland)'s Section for Archives and Technology (SAT) will be delivering two complementary events on the theme of DATA MATTERS!
The UKAD Forum will be hosted by The National Archives at Kew and the follow-up UKAD Workshops will be a half-day at Jisc's offices in central London.
The Forum will include presentations, panels and seminars with plenty of opportunity for debate and discussion on data strategy and research data management; connecting archive, library and museum data; and subject-based data initiatives. You are also invited to submit a poster to share with colleagues what you are doing with your own data.
The Workshops will be more focused and hands-on, offering practical experience of data manipulation tools, data discovery systems, creating data records and uploading them to archive networks and aggregators.
Both events will be pitched at all levels of expertise but while the Forum will be open to a hundred delegates, the Workshop will be limited to a maximum of thirty participants and on a first come, first served basis.
Registration will open in January 2016 and don't forget, they are both FREE EVENTS!
So make a note of the dates and let us know if you think you might like to submit a poster. If you want some inspiration, then take a look at the examples from last year's UKAD Forum 2015 which are available with the presentations and workshops on the UKAD website<http://www.ukad.org/forum2015/>.
More later, so watch this space!
Cathy Williams (UKAD Secretary)
