by KALAMOS BOOKS

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Schaffner,Jennifer <schaffnj(a)oclc.org> Date: Mon, Sep 29, 2008 at 6:38 PM ***Excuse Cross-Posting*** If you are interested in what others are doing at the intersection of libraries, archives and museums, and how to build successful collaborations, this report may be of interest. http://www.oclc.org/programs/publications/reports/2008-05.pdf <blocked:: http://www.oclc.org/programs/publications/reports/2008-05.pdf> Jennifer *************************** Jennifer Schaffner Program Officer RLG Programs/OCLC Research ***Excuse Cross-Posting*** Dear Colleagues, I'd like to alert you that our latest publication, a report on library, archive and museum collaboration by our contractor, Diane Zorich, and Program Officers Günter Waibel and Ricky Erway, "Beyond the Silos of the LAMs: Collaboration Among Libraries, Archives and Museums," (.pdf: 334K/59pp) is now available on the RLG Programs Web site at http://www.oclc.org/programs/publications/reports/2008-05.pdf <blocked:: http://www.oclc.org/programs/publications/reports/2008-05.pdf> . The report highlights lessons learned from five LAM workshops held at RLG Partner institutions in the US and the UK, and contains information about inspiring collaborative projects in campus environments. The bulk of the report, however, is dedicated to the catalysts which allow collaboration to thrive. These insights should be helpful to anyone who is trying to foster deeper working relationships. Next year, you'll have the opportunity to hear from many of the workshop participants in person. The Committee on Archives, Libraries and Museums (CALM) has endorsed a series of panel presentations at ALA, SAA and AAM during 2009, which will give workshop participants from University of Edinburgh, Princeton University, the Smithsonian Institution, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and Yale University a platform to share the progress their institutions have made in aligning the efforts of their collecting units to provide a better experience for their respective audiences. Questions or comments regarding this report can be directed to Günter Waibel, Program Officer, at waibelg(a)oclc.org. Please also get in touch with Günter if you'd like to be added to our library, archive and museum collaboration mailing list.

Academia.edu: 'tree' of academics launches

by KALAMOS BOOKS

Forget Facebook Here is aplace to keep track of Academic colleagues (and Libraries/Librarians) June S ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Richard Price <richard.price(a)all-souls.ox.ac.uk> Hi all, I'm a Fellow in philosophy at All Souls College Oxford, where I recently finished my D.Phil on the philosophy of perception. I've just launched a website, www.academia.edu, which does two things: - It displays academics around the world in a 'tree' format, according to what university/department they are affiliated with. - It enables an academic to have an easy-to-maintain academic webpage. My webpage on Academia.edu is here: http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardPrice My hope for the site is that it will list every academic - Faculty members, Post-Docs, and Graduate Students - in the world, and display where they are working. I also hope people will use the site to keep track of what people in their field are working on. I'm trying to spread the word about www.academia.edu, so, if you have a minute, please visit the site, and add yourself to your department. If your department/university is not there, you can add it/them by clicking on the arrows coming out of the department/university boxes. And do spread the word to your friends and colleagues if you can. Many thanks, Richard Dr. Richard Price, Prize Fellow, All Souls College, Oxford, OX1 4AL http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardPrice
