Hello all
Two pieces of news from London's Museums, Archives and Libraries (LMAL).
1) The LMAL website is now live at www.lmal.org.uk. The site has info on
the LMAL partnership (which brings together the London Archive Regional
Council, London Libraries Development Agency and London Museums Agency) and
our cross-domain activities. There is a section on Learning and Access and
a collection of case studies from museums, archives and libraries in London.
Practitioners from museums, archives and libraries can also submit their own
case studies for inclusion on the site - a chance to share good practice and
publicise your own venue and activates at the same time.
There is also the facility to sign up to the LMAL email update service, with
an option to receive specific news on Learning and Access issues in London's
museums, archives and libraries.
Any feedback on the website would be much appreciated.
2) The Spring season of the LMAL Training Programme is now open for
booking. There are 5 events currently confirmed for January-March 2003 and
