Additional members are still welcome.

Calls for papers, submission deadlines, upcoming meetings: Calendar of events

Bertrand will be on holiday soon (7 - 29 August), so it might be a good idea to schedule a short meeting before for the upcoming lightning talk at iPres2022. 

Any news items we should blog about?

** Priority attention needed for IIIF blog post

Proposals are now being accepted for the next edition of CNI’s Pre-Recorded Project Briefing Series. More information about this year-round program is available on the CNI website and the second edition (July 2022) is now available.

Pre-recorded project briefing videos should focus on a timely topic or on a specific project related to digital information. We especially invite briefings on recently published reports, and updates on new or ongoing projects, programs, or organizations that may have reported at CNI in the past. In general, we recommend that these videos run no more than 15-20 minutes in length, though longer presentations may occasionally make sense; we leave this decision to the discretion of presenters.

Anyone may propose a pre-recorded project briefing, including groups/individuals from non-member institutions and organizations.

Videos will NOT BE SCHEDULED for viewing at a pre-arranged time; rather, they will be available ON-DEMAND, released as a collection, and accompanied by a guide for contextualization. Their availability will be announced on CNI’s listserv, website, and social media outlets. 

No more than 12 pre-recorded project briefings will be accepted for each edition; we expect to issue calls for proposals approximately every two to three months.

Proposals may be submitted via online form: https://www.cni.org/resources/pbvs/submit-a-proposal
