RLUK-BLPAC one-day conference: Dare to share: new approaches to long-term collections management
***Registration Now OPEN***
Dear All,
I am delighted to let you know about the above RLUK-sponsored conference, which will take place on 06 September, at the Wellcome Collection Conference Centre, London
Please note the subsidised cost for RLUK members, as part of our programme of co-operation with the BL Preservation Advisory Centre
The event will examine how libraries and other research institutions can benefit from integrating preservation into broader, long-term collections management strategies, with a particular emphasis on collaborative preservation ventures.
Speakers from the UK and abroad present current thinking on hybrid collections; using collection strengths to inform integrated strategies for resource allocation; how digitisation affects what we keep; protecting investment in digitisation projects; lifecycle costing of digital collections; and opens up the question about the UK Research Reserve being a model for other library materials.
The day builds on research by the RLUK/BL Preservation Learning Project which identified high demand for skills development on strategic issues in collections management amongst staff in research and higher education libraries. Responses particularly emphasised the value that a long-term view can bring in considering access to the collections – both physical and digital - and the importance of preservation within an encompassing and strategic perspective.
Speakers include:
• Brian Clifford, Deputy University Librarian, University of Leeds
• Roger Schonfeld, Manager of Research, Ithaka
• Deborah Shorley, Director of Library Services, Imperial College and Head, UK Research Reserve
• Paul Wheatley, Digital Preservation Manager, British Library
• Alison Faraday, Preservation Training Coordinator, RLUK/British Library Preservation Learning Programme
