Apologies for cross posting. The London Museums Hub Information and Records management is pleased to present free training on improving information management in museums. London Museums Hub Workshops Improving Information Management 1: Preparing for and developing your information policy Date: Thursday 21st October 2010 Location: The Brunei Gallery, SOAS (Central London) Time: 9.30am - 12.30pm Cost: The training is funded by Renaissance London / MLA and is free to museum staff (paid and unpaid) working in London Facilitator: London Museums Hub Records Project Refreshments will be provided This is the first of two workshop sessions provided by the London Museums Hub, aimed at helping museums improve the way in which they manage information. Looking beyond the collections, but retaining a museum-specific focus, these sessions will draw on best practice and case studies taken from the London Hub Information Management Project to help participants begin the process of identifying and addressing information management issues in their museums. Improving information management is in effect change management and it is therefore important to obtain an organisational mandate ahead of the process of change. This half-day session will: * Introduce you to the London Museums Hub Information Policy Framework * Outline some of the approaches that can be used to obtain a mandate for an information policy in your museum * Step through the process of writing, agreeing and implementing your information policy. It is a participative workshop and will include the review and analysis of real-life information policies from a range of organisations. It is aimed at staff with responsibility for any aspect of information management within their museums, particularly those with responsibilities across their organisation. The session will be presented by Alice Grant Consulting Ltd.
