Greg Cram is the Associate Director of Copyright and Information Policy at The New York Public Library. Greg endeavors to make the Library’s collections broadly available to researchers and the public.
At the meeting we want to offer a forum for anyone working on any kind of digital project to celebrate their work! Each presenter will have 5 minutes to talk about their topic or project, followed by a Q&A session from audience members at the end of all the presentations.
We are looking for a wide range of presenters to cover a number of topics, including, but not limited to:
We are also looking to highlight all kinds of digital projects from all around the state, not just projects utilizing the CTDA.
We will review all proposals and notify accepted applicants 3 weeks before the meeting.
More information to come!
Connecticut Collections: Collaborating for Collections
Elizabeth Rose - Connecticut League of History Organizations
This talk will provide an overview of the Connecticut Collections project, a shared database built on the Collective Access platform, and sponsored by the CT League of History Organizations. We are currently working with 12 organizations and plan to add more in the coming year. The project includes a public portal where users can search across different collections, and we anticipate building a connection to the CTDA which will help preserve holdings from different organizations.
