*** Apologies for cross-posting *** ===== LAST REMINDER ===== We would like to remind you of the following ISKO UK afternoon event: "SEEING IS BELIEVING: NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE" DATE: Wednesday 9 June 2010, 13.30-19.00 VENUE: University College London FEE: £ 20 (ISKO members and students FREE) BOOKING: <http://www.iskouk.org/cultural_heritage_jun2010.htm> Access to cultural heritage collections and information is a hot topic with the public and even with some politicians. Information professionals in museums, galleries and libraries, including managers of virtual collections on the Internet, now have the opportunity (as well as the obligation) to harness technology and bring our cultural assets to the people. Conversely, opportunities are expanding for the public to participate in curation through tagging, crowdsourcing and contribution of their own content. David Arnold, Andy Hudson-Smith, Melissa Terras and Fiona Romeo will talk about current research on 3D documentation, work with texts, archives, objects and museum collections. Speakers will address both theoretical and implementation standpoints and will look at a variety of approaches to the material including Web 2.0 solutions. Sascha Curzon from Gallery Systems will give a short presentation about their eMuseum Network project. This ISKO UK open meeting is organized in cooperation with the UCL Department for Information Studies and refreshments are kindly sponsored by Gallery Systems.
