This proposal outlines the creation of a dynamic multinational network to connect emerging designers in China and the UK, launching in September 2010. The network will be an online platform that allows designers to share work, collaborate, and find mentors. To promote the launch, a light graffiti event will occur simultaneously in London and Shanghai, illuminating selected buildings representing UK-China design partnerships. The network aims to celebrate Chinese design and foster future cross-cultural exchange.

The document discusses the Art Institute of Chicago's Online Scholarly Catalogue Initiative (OSCI) project to digitally publish the museum's collection research. It provides details on the goals of embracing digital capabilities while maintaining scholarly standards, the technical process for high-resolution imaging and annotations, positive feedback received, and outstanding questions around resources, business models, and integrating the publications with collection management over time.

The community is invited to contribute, comment on, support, write, edit, test, fund, or develop Pachyderm going forward to strengthen the open-source project and its uses in museums and universities around the world.

In light of the 30th anniversary of NASIG, and the shift from print to electronic serials collections, a panel of librarians will take a historic look back at collection development trends and practices. What did our collections look like in the late 1980s? How did the online evaluation tools of the early 2000s have an impact? What are collection best practices today? Where will our future collections focus? Using statistical data from Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory and similar tools, presenters will consider how the changing landscape of serials publishing over the years has impacted the ways in which librarians have evaluated, selected, and assessed their collections from the days of print directories to today’s e-resource management offerings. This session is intended as a historic review of resources used for collection development during the 30 year history of NASIG. The perspectives of two academic librarians and a subscription agent will be heard, moderated by a representative of Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory Content team. Librarians seeking an overview of issues in collection development and resource vetting are encouraged to attend. There will be an opportunity for attendees to share their observations with colleagues and the panel. Speakers: Laurie Kaplan, Moderator, Director of Editorial Operations, ProQuest Dani L. Roach, Head of Serials and Electronic Resource Acquisitions, University of St. Thomas Betsy Appleton, Electronic and Continuing Resources Librarian, St. Edward's University Justin Clarke, Product Manager and Regional Sales Manager East, HARRASSOWITZ Booksellers and Subscription Agents

The document discusses the Art Institute of Chicago's participation in the Getty Foundation's Online Scholarly Catalogue Initiative (OSCI) to explore digital presentation of collection research. It details the Art Institute's goals to create an authoritative online reference for scholars while maintaining high standards. It provides an overview of early takeaways from developing their first digital catalogue on Monet paintings and drawings, such as addressing issues with digital images and workflow expectations. The ultimate goal is to incorporate scholarly tools into their collection management system to make it an active repository for continuous scholarly efforts.

This document discusses the history and development of computing technologies in art museums from the 1960s to the present. It notes early proposals from the 1960s about using computers to access information about artworks across collections worldwide. Specific early digital projects aimed at cataloging and analyzing artworks are also mentioned from the 1960s and 1970s. The development of standards, databases, and the internet are then reviewed in transforming how art information is stored and accessed over subsequent decades to the present digital age.
