[SOA] Register - OhioDIG meeting 9/4 @ OGS on Digital Repositories

[Carleton, Janet (she/her)]

Please join the Ohio Digitization Interest Group for our fall in-person road trip meeting at 10AM on Thursday, September 4, 2024 at the Ohio Genealogical Society.

Topic:  Everything You've Ever Wanted to Ask (or Share!) About Digital Repositories: A Discussion.

Registration: Open until Sept 2, 5pm, or until room capacity of 50 is reached. Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfFk6oqFymLsLV2nNPOjSO6I7Jui2pbeUNFYnmWcOK0j1G6LA/viewform?usp=dialog

Join cultural heritage professionals from around the state to discuss the evergreen topic of digital repositories!

This meeting will be a group discussion-- rather than a formal presentation-- so bring your questions and challenges, as well as any new platforms, features, or creative uses of existing platforms to share with the group.

Attendees are encouraged to bring questions and topics/tricks for group feedback and networking, and may submit one question and one tip/trick in advance using the registration form, or bring questions day of meeting. Not all questions may be answered during the meeting due to time limitations, but all questions will be shared with attendees for follow up and feedback via other channels. OhioDIG planning committee members will moderate the discussion and connect attendees with one another for continued support and dialog after the meeting.

This is our final in-person meeting for this year. The next 3 meetings will be virtual (Nov, Jan, Mar), then we cycle back to in-person (may, Jul, Sep).
