GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums)
This workshop appealed to me because I think it gave an insight into the direction the information management industry is increasingly heading into; a collaborative space. The models presented by the guest speakers were interesting and I was intrigued by how space was a key component to to developing GLAM communities. The speakers outlined the various considerations made when entering into a collaborative agreement and the roles each area within the collaboration, plays. An overview of the challenges and values associated with convergence was provided and provided quality food for thought: how do you manage personalities of the people? How do you manage the roles within the convergent relationship? How is information managed across different bodies?
I am interested in following up research conducted into this field and will be a keen observer to see whether GLAM convergence will increase over the next decade.
