apologies for any cross-posting dear all Following the highly successful inaugural series of C21st Curation public lectures last year, SLAIS organised a second series of public lectures by eight leading speakers, open to students, professionals and general public during April and May 2006. Podcasts and presentations from the series are now available online (www.slais.ucl.ac.uk/c21/). The four evening sessions each attracted an audience of professional librarians, archivists, records managers, museum curators, publishers, and students. Each session provoked lively discussion and debate. Details of the key themes and speakers are given below. Scholarly Communications Astrid Wissenburg, Director of Communications at the Economic and Social Research Council The presentation for this lecture is available on the SLAIS Web site ( www.slais.ucl.ac.uk/c21/). David Brown, Head of Scholarly Communications at The British Library The presentation for this lecture is available on the SLAIS Web site ( www.slais.ucl.ac.uk/c21/). Digital Resources in the Humanities Professor Susan Hockey, UCL The podcast and presentation for this lecture are available on the SLAIS Web site (www.slais.ucl.ac.uk/c21/). Suzanne Keene, UCL The presentation for this lecture is available on the SLAIS Web site ( www.slais.ucl.ac.uk/c21/). Service Delivery in National Institutions Natalie Ceeney, Chief Executive of The National Archives The podcast and presentation for this lecture are available on the SLAIS Web site (www.slais.ucl.ac.uk/c21/). Jemima Rellie, Head of Digital Programmes at the Tate The podcast and presentation for this lecture are available on the SLAIS Web site (www.slais.ucl.ac.uk/c21/). Curation and Access for Scientific Data Neil Beagrie, The British Library and JISC The podcast and presentation for this lecture are available on the SLAIS Web site (www.slais.ucl.ac.uk/c21/). Prof. Michael Wadsworth, Dept of Epidemiology and Public Health at UCL The podcast and presentation for this lecture are available on the SLAIS Web site (www.slais.ucl.ac.uk/c21/). Feedback from those attending the lecture series has been overwhelmingly positive. We are extremely grateful to all the speakers who gave their time to make the second series of public lectures so enjoyable and stimulating intellectually and professionally for the audience. We hope making podcasts and presentations from the lectures available online this year will be welcomed by those who were unable to attend some of the lectures and the many individuals from overseas who asked if this would be possible. We would welcome further feedback from those who attended or download the lectures and any suggestions on topics for future public lecture series. ****************************************************************************** ******* Neil Beagrie FRSA publications: www.beagrie.com BL/JISC Partnership Manager email: [log in to unmask] The British Library, urls: www.bl.uk 96 Euston Road, www.jisc.ac.uk London NW1 2DB Tel/Fax/Voicemail :+44 (0)709 2048179 ************************************************* ************************************
