European Digital Library - a call to action for museums

An interesting workshop held today at the EVA Conference. Jill Cousins started off by talking about EDL, and then I followed by talking (amongst other things) about the role of MICHAEL as a service registry. Though the audience was small, there was plenty of discussion, which gave some useful pointers. Nobody wanted a Eu Digital Museum (rather a relief) but there was a lot of support for mediating and interpreting content, rather than just putting more stuff on the web. An interesting afternoon, and, I think, quite helpful to some of our stakeholders.

Last Friday I attended a workshop organised by Renaissance East Midlands, organised to share information about regional digital projects and the national picture. I gave a presentation on the European Digital Library and how national initiatives - like MICHAEL and the People's Network Discover service - relate. There were useful presentations by Nick Poole, Dylan Edgar and Fiona Marshall. More details about the day + the presentations are online at: http://www.renaissanceeastmidlands.org.uk/about_us/business_planning_consultation/digitisation.html
