All, Please join us Thurs 11 Sept for a Research IT Reading Group on Digital Asset Management Systems (DAMS). We'll meet in 200C Warren Hall from noon until about 1pm (building access info below my signature).
We'll explore how DAMS functionality supports research (and teaching) via the library and otherwise; and some approaches and solutions to DAMS implementation. Reading selection and facilitation are brought to us by Sherri Berger (CDL); Lynn Cunningham (History of Art Visual Resources Center); and Mary Elings (Bancroft Library).
