[OPLINLIST] Connecting to Collections Webinar Series

[Marsha McDevitt-Stredney]

Please excuse multiple postings...

 

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) created the
Connecting to Collections initiative to raise awareness about the risk
to America's cultural heritage and to prompt action for its preservation
and conservation.  The State Library of Ohio and the Ohio Historical
Society received a Connecting to Collections Planning Grant in 2009 and
are currently working on the development of the Ohio Cultural Heritage
Strategic Plan. 

 

One of the findings from the Ohio Connecting to Collections survey was
the need for education on collections care.  The Institute of Museum and
Library Services' (IMLS) national Connecting to Collections initiative
has just announced a series of webinars aimed at addressing various
issues related to collections preservation and care.

 

This fall, the IMLS, Heritage Preservation, and the American Association
for State and Local History (AASLH) are offering a series of webinars

404641e545c4b972&id=3e70b1c1c0&e=bc47aecaed>  as the next installment of
Connecting to Collections effort.  
 
Based on the content of the Connecting to Collections Bookshelf, Forums,
and Workshops, these webinars will connect you with experts and
colleagues to discuss issues of common concern.  The series is designed
for libraries, museums, and archives, and will be of special interest to
staff members of small to mid-sized institutions. 
 
The series has a dual focus: 1) Learning how to conduct outreach to the
media, the public, and funders on behalf of collections, and 2) Deriving
maximum benefit from the Connecting to Collections Bookshelf.
 
Sign up for the entire series

sessions that most interest you.  And feel free to invite your
colleagues to participate as well; it's free of charge!  You are also
encouraged to organize a group in your institution or community to
participate in the webinar, then work together to put in action what you
have learned.
 
If you can't participate in the sessions live, don't worry, they will be
archived, and an announcement of their availability will be sent to all
recipients of this message. 
 
Each of the 90 minute webinars will begin with an interactive
presentation, followed by discussion and Q&A.  A trained moderator will
ensure a lively session.
