UK cultural organizations." The Guardian continues, "It's a complex and bewilderingly long-term project, whose challenges include reconciling rights for content owners, resolving legal issues about content use and linking up multiple, incompatible systems, not to mention convincing what is still a broadcast-centric organization [the BBC] of the importance of its own legacy." [cid:19BB8349-24D9-4703-800E-D77723FC9F7F] The presenter will be Stuart Dempster, director of the Strategic Content Alliance initiative for JISC, the UK's official higher-education digital strategy and implementation consultancy. Stuart is responsible for developing a range of research and policy projects, including a common set of principles and guidelines for best practice that will provide a common policy framework for online content activities across the domains of lifelong learning and teaching, research, and cultural heritage in the UK. Where and When: 2:30pm - 4:00pm Monday, March 24, at the Smithsonian Office of the CIO conference room, 600 Maryland AVE, SW, Suite 4000.
