Dear colleagues,
I wanted to draw your attention to two new posts on Collections Link
this week:
The first is the video from my recent TEDx Eutropolis talk on Europeana,
digital libraries and 'Stories worth Sharing', now up at
http://www.collectionslink.org.uk/blog/2029-stories-worth-sharing
The second is a post on 'The Responsive Museum', looking at how museums
are designing user-centric services which blend technology and
collections -
http://www.collectionslink.org.uk/blog/2012-responsivemuseum
The 'Responsive Museum' post is an extension of the earlier discussions
about museum data publishing ('Create Once, Publish Everywhere') and
includes a section at the end on how we propose to evolve and adapt
SPECTRUM to address the challenge of managing and publishing museum
metadata and content.
Finally, in case you missed it, I am delighted to announce that Google's
Steve Crossan has joined the Board of the Collections Trust, where he
will be bringing his expertise on programmes including gmail and the
Google Cultural Institute to bear in helping us open up new partnerships
for sharing collections. The full announcement is up at
http://www.collectionslink.org.uk/discover/sustaining-digital/2021-googl
e-digital-expert-joins-collections-trust-board.
I hope this is a useful update, and as ever, comments most welcome!
All best,
Nick
