Dear All, This is being scheduled for 12th and 13th Dec. Time is yet to be finalised. Couple of points:
* Workshop will be organised in the computer lab at Goa University * Infrastructure like the computer lab LCD projectors are available in the library as well a s the Academic Staff College class rooms. * Computer lab has 25 machines and may be few lap tops can squeeze in. * We are requesting participants to get their own laptops if possible * Gopakumar (University librarian) will create and share a participation form for registration. He is also creating posters, banners and notices to market the event. * I'm going to submit a request to release the library IP address from 7 accounts creation limit. * We're also trying to set up a meeting with museum curators and librarians from Goa to explore opportunities of working on a GLAM project with them. I'll keep updating you all. Will be great to get support from as many of you as possible.
