In 2013 the Jodi Awards will celebrate their tenth anniversary.
For ten years, the 'Jodis' have been inspiring best practice in making museums, libraries and archives accessible to disabled people, through the best use of technology.
Excitingly, for our celebratory year, we are establishing a new committee of volunteers to help co-ordinate the Jodi Awards. The aim is to bring together a team of individuals with a range of skills and experiences that can help maintain the profile and impact of the Awards and support it as it adapts to a changing digital and cultural landscape.
To find out more about the roles on the new committee and - most importantly - what to do if you are interested in joining us, please see:

And why not also visit Arts Council England's 'Digital R&D Podcasts' (number 5 - on 'Education and Learning'), which features a Jodi Awards winner (The National Trust), as well as an interview with one of our Trustees - Marcus Weisen.
