Dear All, For anyone heading to Museums and the Web next week, I have submitted an open salon proposal to discuss evidence from real users about their mobile services.
http://mw2013.museumsandtheweb.com/salon/mobile-museum-services-user-evidence/ I'll be kicking off with various things we have gleaned from users of digital services on mobiles here, and would be most pleased to welcome evidence from others about what they know from mobile users, in an open discussion.

One year after this anniversary meeting and one year closer to the general deployment of RDA in libraries, this webinar will take stock of progress towards developing application profiles based on RDA and discuss the practicalities of exposing RDA-based data in the Linked Data cloud. SPEAKER: Alan Danskin, Metadata Standards Manager at The British Library, where he has worked in various capacities since 1987, including implementation of MARC 21. He currently represents the library on the Joint Steering Committee for the Development of RDA (Resource Description and Access) for which he until recently served as chair. He has served as chair of the Cataloguing & Indexing Group of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals and is a member of the Book Industry Communication Bibliographic Standards Group. Registration closes one hour before the webinar begins.

Make-to-Learn <http://m2l.indiana.edu/> , a new thematic initiative of the DML Research Hub being led by Indiana University's Creativity Labs, is partnering with Instructables.com <http://Instructables.com/> , one of the biggest online DIY communities, to host the Make-to-Learn Youth Contest <http://www.instructables.com/contest/maketolearn> , where kids can share their makes, talk about what they learned in the process, and check out lots of other creative makes from across the country. The contest is open until April 15th, and we invite all sorts of makes - digital, physical, electronic, gastronomic, whatever! Just as long as a youth made it. Details about submission can be found here: http://www.instructables.com/contest/maketolearn You can download a flyer here <https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1im6dcp9ttir3ml/yMJl7sPGDc> that can be posted in your spaces, shared with youth and educators, posted to listservs, etc. Definitely feel free to share widely! We'd love to give as many youth a chance to participate as possible. (And also have a chance to win super cool prizes like iPads, dream makers kits, and more!).
