Apologies for cross-posting UNITED WE STAND: joint working between libraries, museums and archives CPI Library and Information Policy Seminar, Stamford, Thursday 1 March 2001 ** Places at the seminar are filling-up quickly but a few are still available ** The context is the new cross-domain agenda for library, museum and archive services. Re:source published its Manifesto in July and is funding a programme to stimulate cross-domain working through the relevant regional bodies. One major aim is to extend the People's Network into museums and archives and to work with DCMS to develop cultural content for the Web. Co- operation and partnership are seen as key to success.
