Session 6: Outreach

Simon: Two issues to talk about: Training and Collaboration

Simon: Organizations trust us with paper, so assumed they automatically trust us with digital. We need to make an effort to explain the importance of capturing data earlier and how long it takes to process collections.

Wrap-up and Moving Forward

Ways to keep in touch:

Bi-monthly Web Meeting

CurateCamp

How do we continue developing tools?

• We need to be more conscious of what each other are working on
• Willing to share things that are not fully baked
  

What do we do about tools that already exist and port them to the future? We need to have a sustainable model for tools

We agree this group is now a resource for discussion. We have built a community.

It is possible to build these meetings in the UnConference, THATCamp model in regions across the US (and regionally in UK.)

Major Topics:

• Digital Research/Other Communities (Digital Humanities, Open Government, Scientific Data Curators) (Matt will talk to digital humanists)
• Tools (Courtney and Brad W. and Mark)
• Policies and Best Practices (Courtney and Catherine H.)
• Curriculum Development (Catherine S. P.)
• Future work together as a group

First step is to create a wiki page in these areas. Generate discussion in this area. Talk to other groups for information.
