Dear MCG'ers,
I thought that those of you interested in Green ICT and more general
issues of environmental sustainability might be interested in the report
that has just been published by our colleagues at Collections Council
Australia. The text of their announcement follows:
Sustainability Reporting Indicators - research report published
The Collections Council of Australia and Ms Eleanor Adams are pleased to
announce the publication of Towards Sustainability Indicators for
Museums in Australia.
Authored by Ms Adams as part of her Master of Arts in Curatorial and
Museum Studies at the University of Adelaide during 2009, this report is
the culmination of twelve weeks' research into sustainability reporting
indicators, with a particular focus on collecting organisations. It
contains a set of pilot indicators that relate to the 'four pillars of
sustainability' - environment, society, culture and economy. The author
and publisher encourage people working in archives, galleries, libraries
and museums to consider and adapt the indicators for their own needs.
The report is available from the Collections Council's website via this
link: http://www.collectionscouncil.com.au/Default.aspx?tabid=802
For further information, contact Eleanor Adams at:

All best,
Nick
