Hi Stephano I'd be interested in following the discussion from afar (NZ). You might also be interested in the work of the National Digital Forum here in NZ. For over 10 years it's been bringing GLAMs (we add a G for Galleries) together to talk all things digital, audience, engagement etc. The site is here http://www.ndf.org.nz/ and there are videos of presentations from past conferences here https://www.youtube.com/user/NDFNZ. The main output is a conference, but there is skill sharing, regional barcamps etc as well. I guess being a small country is a bit easier to get past sector barriers, but we seem to play together pretty well. I have to say, if you can swing some international travel, I HIGHLY recommend the conference. It's usually Oct/Nov.

Hello, It was exciting to host a lively conversation at the last MCN conference about Libraries, Archives and Museums (topics: [1]; slides: [2]). I am happy to see that many colleagues are interested in tearing down the barriers between bibliographical, archival and collection records within museums, as well as promoting the exchange of information and technologies between Cultural Heritage institutions. I think the session sparked quite some interest and raised important topics from many of the participants. I also believe that this conversation needs to be brought forward. This mailing list may be a good place to follow up that conversation. I would love to propose a similar session for next MCN, actually even closer to a round-table discussion than to a panel. If enough people are interested, I would also propose to create a special interest group for this topic. Goal of the SIG would be torefine the core topics that we brought up at the conference using this mailing list, and then meet in person at the next MCN with a distilled down list of action items. Anyone interested in this proposal is welcome to respond.
