British Library’s Archival Sound Recordings (www.bl.uk/sounds) is a JISC
funded project to make selected material from the Sound Archive available
online to Higher and Further Education institutions. The project will be
hosting a User Community event on 11th March at the British Library, St
Pancras, for academics and postgraduate students who would like to become
more actively involved with the service.
Reflecting the material we are making available, we are looking for
researchers and academics involved in in Art and Design, Art History,
Media, English, History, Social Sciences, Music, African Studies, Zoology,
Political, Religious and Cultural Studies.
User Community members will have the opportunity to influence the
direction and development of the project, support the development of case
studies, host workshops, give conference papers and work with us to
encourage use of the resource in the academic community.
There are two levels of involvement: User Panel members will be asked to
attend a small number of meetings and workshop sessions during 2008 and
early 2009, and Online Community members are invited to contribute from
afar. Due to the large amount of interest that has been shown in the User
Panel, we may have to be selective regarding membership of the Panel
itself. Contributions by members of the Online Community are equally
valuable to the project, as ultimately the community engaging with the
website will be entirely online.
If you are interested in attending the event please send an email to
[log in to unmask] with a short CV or a link to your web-page. Places
are limited, and we may have to select attendees to ensure an even spread
of academic disciplines and geographical area.
