Dear Colleagues,
I'd like to alert you that our latest publication, a report on library,
archive and museum collaboration by our contractor, Diane Zorich, and
Program Officers Günter Waibel and Ricky Erway, "Beyond the Silos of the
LAMs: Collaboration Among Libraries, Archives and Museums," (.pdf:
334K/59pp) is now available on the RLG Programs Web site at
http://www.oclc.org/programs/publications/reports/2008-05.pdf <blocked::
http://www.oclc.org/programs/publications/reports/2008-05.pdf> .
The report highlights lessons learned from five LAM workshops held at RLG
Partner institutions in the US and the UK, and contains information about
inspiring collaborative projects in campus environments. The bulk of the
report, however, is dedicated to the catalysts which allow collaboration to
thrive. These insights should be helpful to anyone who is trying to foster
deeper working relationships.
Next year, you'll have the opportunity to hear from many of the workshop
participants in person. The Committee on Archives, Libraries and Museums
(CALM) has endorsed a series of panel presentations at ALA, SAA and AAM
during 2009, which will give workshop participants from University of
Edinburgh, Princeton University, the Smithsonian Institution, the Victoria
and Albert Museum, and Yale University a platform to share the progress
their institutions have made in aligning the efforts of their collecting
units to provide a better experience for their respective audiences.
Questions or comments regarding this report can be directed to Günter
Waibel, Program Officer, at waibelg(a)oclc.org. Please also get in touch with
Günter if you'd like to be added to our library, archive and museum
collaboration mailing list.
Best regards,
Melissa
