All Change: Adapt and Thrive in a Digital Age
LMLAG* one day conference, Thursday 26 April 2007 9.30-16.30
BP Theatre, British Museum, Great Russell Street, London WC1B 3DG
Need to make your museum library and archive collections more visible and accessible in a competitive web environment?
Under pressure to engage with wider audiences?
Unsure what virtual knowledge-sharing developments such as Web 2.0 are - and how they might revolutionise your services without heavy investment?
Interested in how partnership and collaboration is helping to develop digital services and resources?
Wondering how realistic and affordable such opportunities might be?
Then the ‘All Change’ conference is for YOU!
The ‘All Change’ conference will look at web, digital and electronic knowledge-sharing developments and the opportunities and challenges they bring for museum libraries and archives.
It will look at how to exploit these opportunities, even when resources are limited. It will also address the pros and cons of getting involved in collaborative partnerships.
Speakers will talk about the impact that new information-sharing developments are having on the physical study spaces and services that libraries and archives provide.
A unique group of speakers will introduce relevant experience and ideas from the museum and other sectors. The conference will interest librarians, curators, archivists, students, learning specialists, researchers - in fact all who use, or work in, museum libraries and archives and are concerned about their future development.
The keynote speaker is John Dolan, Head of Library Policy at MLA. Other confirmed speakers include:
Brian Kelly, UK Web Focus, UKOLN (Web 2.0 and low cost service development opportunities)
Pat Christie, University of the Arts (innovation in physical study environments)
Caroline Warhurst, London’s Transport Museum (making the best of small spaces and budgets)
Graham Higley, Biodiversity Heritage Library Project (a global network with museum participation)
Michael Popham, Oxford Digital Library (lessons of the Google Books project)
James Strachan, Director of Public Services & Marketing, TNA (user-led online initiatives)
Other speakers still to be announced from: TNA, the Britain in Print collaborative partnership and a view of partnership from the private sector.
