Hello everyone,

 

You may be interested in this upcoming and free event from our colleagues at Research Libraries UK.

 

Best,

Dear Gayle,

I hope that you are well and that you had a nice weekend. I wanted to ask whether you would be willing to circulate the below around the DLF lists? I thought that the first seminar might be of particular interest to the DLF-Museums colleagues?

 

With very best wishes,

 

Matt

 

Dear colleagues,

Please see below for details of the final two seminars belonging to this season of RLUK’s Digital Shift Forum (#RLUKDSF), featuring Professor Ross Parry and members of the RLUK digital shift working group.

 

Upcoming events

  

8 June - Building Digital Confidence Through Action Research - Ross Parry, Professor of Museum Technology, University of Leicester

This Wednesday, 8 June, 14:00-15:00 BST - Register for this event

 

This seminar will share the approaches of an international consortium (funded by the UK’s AHRC and the US’s National Endowment for the Arts) of university partners, cultural organisations and professional bodies who over the last five years have been leveraging action research to help build the digital confidence of cultural and heritage institutions.

 

The ‘One by One’ initiative (starting in the UK, then the US, and now on-going now in Canada, funded by the Canadian Council for the Arts) has not only influenced government policy and standards around digital literacy within the sector, but has helped to frame new ways of reflecting upon (and acting upon) digital work in cultural institutions.

 

 

22 June - Realising a vision for the digital shift: RLUK’s Digital Shift Manifesto: 2 years on

14:00-16:00 BST – Register for this event

 

In May 2020, RLUK launched its digital shift manifesto. The manifesto provided an ambitious vision for the research library community regarding the ongoing digital shift in its collections, spaces, stakeholder relations, and skills.

 

Although envisaged and developed before Covid-19, the launch and implementation of the manifesto coincided with the pandemic. We’ve experienced and learnt a lot during this time.

 

In this interactive and discursive symposium, the current members of RLUK’s digital shift working group will reflect on the ambitions of the manifesto and the future challenges and opportunities facing the community around the digital shift. How can we build on the manifesto’s vision, its success over the last two years, and seize our collective learning from the Covid-19 pandemic? The symposium will also include contributions from those colleagues who originally contributed to manifesto’s creation, and colleagues who have used the manifesto in their work.

 

With very best wishes,

 

Matt
