Video from 2009 IDCC

January 6, 2010

Video from the 2009 International Digital Curation Conference, held in London on December 2-4, is now available. There were a wealth of great sessions at the IDCC meeting, and you can find links to the video captures and the presentation materials at http://www.netvibes.com/idcc2009#Completed_Sessions and http://www.netvibes.com/idcc2009#Programme.  Particularly recommended are Professor Ed Seidel’s superb plenary session on the second day, and Graham Pryor’s best-paper talk on data sharing in the biological sciences, which was largely based on a set of very detailed sub disciplinary case studies commissioned by the UK Research Information Network and the British Library; these can be found at http://www.rin.ac.uk/our-work/using-and-accessing-information-resources/disciplinary-case-studies-life-sciences and are well worth reading to understand some of the barriers to implementing data sharing policies.

Dec. CNI Conversations Available

December 22, 2009

An audio archive of the December CNI Conversations session is now available at http://conversations.cni.org/ (to subscribe to the audio feed add http://conversations.cni.org/feed to iTunes, or any podcatcher).

The discussion featured a recap of the recent CNI Membership Meeting by Executive Director Clifford Lynch and Associate Director Joan Lippincott.  Cliff also discussed the 5th International Digital Curation Conference, as well as the NSF-funded workshop “Scholarly Evaluation Metrics:  Opportunities and Challenges.”

About CNI Conversations:
As part of an ongoing effort to explore additional ways to connect with our members, CNI launched a new program in September 2009, CNI Conversations, in which participants from member institutions and organizations take part in discussions on current topics with CNI Director Clifford Lynch and others; currently the events take place in audio-conference format.

Real-time participation in upcoming CNI Conversations events requires pre-registration.  Registration is open only to those at member institutions and organizations.  Dates for future events will be sent to the CNI representatives at our member institutions in January; if you are interested in participating in a future session of CNI Conversations, please contact one of your organization’s CNI representatives.  We plan to continue to make audio or other records of these exchanges generally available after the event.

For questions or comments related to CNI Conversations, please contact CNI Associate Executive Director Joan Lippincott at Joan [at] cni [dot] org.
