This is an offer of a placement from a student on the Cultural  
Heritage Studies course there. Students are required to work 20 days  
in a museum or comparable organisation as part of their course.The  
student, Colin Baird, has advanced experience, skills and expertise  
in IT and digital media.

Colin is planning to write his dissertation on the potential of the  
semantic web and social software for museums - I'll be supervising  
it. This is a great chance for a museum to explore what might be done  
using these technologies, still a mystery to many let's admit it, and  
to undertake a substantial yet manageable piece of research.

Please contact Colin at his email address, below, and copy to me in  
the first instance.

==========================================

My name is Colin Baird and I am currently taking the Cultural  
Heritage Studies MA at UCL. One requirement of this course involves  
undertaking a placement with a heritage organisation of 20 days work  
either part or full time. At the end of the placement students are  
expected to write a short report on their experience to submit as  
part of their assessment.

My interests are focused around Heritage and IT and I am looking for  
projects in this area. Prior to taking this course I completed a BA  
in Archaeology and Ancient History and an MSc in Electronic  
Publishing. I then worked for 7 years in the Web industry and I have  
an extensive CV of IT skills and experience which includes web  
design, web development and information management. I have led large- 
scale projects in the private sector and in local government and I  
also have consulting and project management experience.

With this background I can offer an organisation a variety of  
different roles. This could range from providing advice and planning  
for forthcoming projects or help with implementation on existing  
ones. 20 days is a feasible timescale to design and build a small  
website depending on the availability of resources, or to provide  
more open-ended expertise to help orientate an organisation's goals  
in the ever-changing world of technology.

I am available from mid-June through July and August and would prefer  
to work part-time during this period as I will also be working on my  
dissertation topic: Museums and the Semantic Web. I would be happy to  
meet and discuss possible projects and perhaps spend a few days for  
specification or design before this period. I have my own equipment  
and can work from home. I am based in Bristol / London but I am  
flexible and due to the nature of IT projects it is often possible to  
work in a more distributed way.

If you are interested then please contact me via email at  
[log in to unmask] where I can provide more details as required. I  
will need to consult with my course supervisor to make sure that any  
prospective placement meets the aims of the MA.
