Dear MCGers,
I have been contacted by a number of you concerning the MLA Schools
Participation Database, which is currently down and showing a message to
the effect that it is being transferred to the Collections Trust.
I am sorry that those of you that are active users of the system didn't
receive a heads-up about this transition, and also that it hasn't been
possible to keep the system running while the data is transferred to us.
We will be contacting you about the service, but in the meantime if you
have any concerns, please do let me know.
Longer-term, we would very much like to build on our work last year with
Flow Associates reviewing the database, by evolving it into a broader
tool for monitoring and visualising participation. I'd love to hear
people's thoughts on this. We have created a new 'Schools Participation
Database Users Group' network on Collections Link, which we will use to
host the discussion about next steps for the service, so do please go
and join it if you are interested: http://tiny.cc/mla_spd.
Very best,
Nick
