Join cultural heritage professionals from around the state to discuss the evergreen topic of digital repositories. Rather than a series of formal presentations, bring your questions and challenges, as well as any new platforms, features, or creative uses of
existing platforms to share with the group. OhioDIG planning committee members will moderate the discussion and connect attendees with one another for continued support and dialog after the meeting. Attendees are encouraged to submit questions/topics for discussion
in advance, and include links to examples where applicable, though questions day of will be welcome. Moderators will have the ability to display linked pages to the group for better understanding. Example question:
<i>¡§There¡¦s no way for me to do XYZ in ABC platform. Has anyone found a workaround? Here¡¦s an example of how it¡¦s currently displayed, but I wish XYZ.¡¨</i></div>
