BCR's Bailey-Hainer Speaking at Living the Future Conference
BCR President and CEO Brenda Bailey-Hainer is scheduled to present "Building a Digital Cultural Heritage Resource: BCR's Collaborative Digitization Program" at the Living the Future 7 Conference (LTF), in Tucson, Arizona, May 2, 10-11 a.m. The LTF conference is known throughout the library community to be a vanguard event in exploring innovative and forward thinking directions for the future of libraries.
The theme for LTF 7 is Transforming Libraries Through Collaboration. The conference will focus on collaboration as it is emerging on campus between libraries and faculty; among libraries and communities; and through consortial projects.
Bailey-Hainer's session will focus on the evolution of the Collaborative Digitization Program into BCR’s CDP, and review its history as one of the earliest programs in the U.S. to embrace the participation of museums, libraries, archives and historical societies in its collaborative digital initiatives. BCR’s CDP builds on the strength of its members to collaborate on setting standards and best practices to be used in group digitization projects.
