Support For Museums Galleries Scotland
Posted by Brian Kelly on September 24th, 2009
UKOLN’s support for the cultural heritage sector is funded by the MLA. Since the MLA’s remit is cultural heritage organisations in England the focus of our work with by institutions based in England. However the expertise we have and many of the resources we have developed are likely to be beneficial to a wider community.
The value which UKOLN can provide to a wider community has been identified by Museums Galleries Scotland (MGS). We are now providing a support service for MGS member organisations. The service will be informed by the various resources we have available, including our Introbyte briefing documents and this blog. In addition an email service (mgs-support@lists.ukoln.ac.uk) is available for use by the MGS member organisations.
As described on the MGS Web site the Digital Advice service for the MGS community is provided by UKOLN in conjunction with the Collections Management Network in order to support the MGS Digital Content Action Framework.
Our intention is that key areas of interest to MGS member organisations will not only be dealt with by our email support service but will identify areas of wider interest which may be addressed by additional briefing documents or blog posts.
