Through a new Audiovisual Think Tank, visionary experts in the AV cultural heritage sector are working together to map out our shared strategic priorities and put into place a research and action agenda to shape the coming decade. The AV Think Tank looks to represent major AV archives and digital cultural heritage professionals from across the globe and closely connects these key players to work collectively at the forefront of the sector in consultation with the wider community. Initiated and actively supported by Sound and Vision, the AV Think Tank aims to lay the groundwork for an AV archiving sector that enables more long-term use of, learning with, and education through AV materials.

Mate Toth: Digitisation and creative re-use of cultural content #blokexpertuKISK FF MU
Slides for the lecture given at Department of Library and Information Studies. // Slajdy k přednášce pro předmět Blok expertů na KISKu (kisk.cz/blok-expertu).
Making cultural content available for everyone via mass digitisation is still a challenge for the European ALM (Archives, libraries and museums) sector. Most European memory institutions intend to digitise their whole collection and develop projects for the attractive presentation of their online available electronic content.
The creative industry expects content that is ready for remix and reuse even for business purposes. Based on the experiences of the meetings of Member States Expert Group on Digitisation and Digital Preservation the lecture will summarize the main factors that challenge the realization of this aim and outline possible solutions.
I will present the business needs (what creative reuse means), the legal barriers (how existing copyright rules make creative reuse difficult), the memory institutions’ perspective and some landmark projects from all over Europe that makes it clear that there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
Presentation given at Digital Humanities Research Colloquium, 18 October 2017.
Abstract: On 11 October 2017 UCC's Office of the Vice President for Teaching & Learning hosted a #nextgenspaces learning event. One of the speakers, Prof. Stephen Heppell, noted the following: ‘next generation is here and it means business’ and ‘students are going to a world of surprises.’ With these points in mind how do libraries prepare for the library of the future? In this presentation I discuss traditional expertise and how this is adapted for the uncharted territories of the future.

Diversity Equality Inclusive Initiatives in UCC and USCElaine Harrington
The goal of the International Librarians Networking Program (ILNP) is to assist librarians from around the world to network and expand their skills in librarianship through a cooperative and collaborative program. The program is designed to be self guided, allowing participants to form a collaborative relationship with one another for four months and the opportunity to continue networking after the program ends. The International Librarians Networking Program is part of the American Library Association International Relations Round Table.
The 2021 cohort comprised 62 people from 27 countries selected for pair networking. There had been 270 original applicants from 39 different countries. I was paired with Dr Win Shih, Director of Integrated Library Systems at the University of Southern California. The ILNP final project was to create an academic poster arising from the conversations during the four month period. We completed one on Diversity Equality Inclusion initiatives in UCC & USC.
This presentation is adapted from a poster session given at the University at Albany Graduate Information Studies poster session. The research was conducted on sight in London, England and New York, USA during the summer of 2012.

Challenges ahead…
“We exist for everyone who wants to
do research – for academic, personal
or commercial purposes”
Our collections cover all known
subject areas; sciences, technology,
medicine, arts & humanities, social
sciences…
We have a copy of every item
published in the UK
Our collections cover all formats;
sound, images, video, newspapers,
maps, manuscripts, databases,
books and journals, much more…

3.Being ambitious, creative and thinking big… The British Library’s
collections offer the finest single resource for South Asian studies in the
world.
• India Office Records — a vast
body of material and a rich and
unique official record of British
involvement with Asia, as well as
a very substantial archive of
private papers.
• Visual materials of
internationally significance —
art by British artists in India and
one of the most extensive
collections of early photography.
• Exceptional holdings in
manuscripts across South Asian
languages and scripts.
• Unparalleled collections of
books, serials and newspapers in
a wide range of vernacular
languages, as well as books
about South Asia in Western
languages.

Preserving global culture
Amakondere players: Samuel Kahunde
2008
“I found the audio fantastic to work with.
The realism of it inspired students and
encouraged them to source other material
beyond Google searches.
As a tutor I maybe too often stand there
and give my opinion about somebody’s
work. Listening to interviews allows
students to hear from the photographer
themselves what’s behind the images.”
Amanda Broadley, Photography Tutor,
Joseph Priestley College
“The Wachsmann Uganda Recordings
are extremely useful. In Bunyoro
kingdom for example, an official recently
told me that they had instruments that
are not played because nobody knows
the skills and their music. I feel that the
music can be restored through listening
to the digital sounds that are in the British
Library archives.”
Samuel Kahunde, PhD ethnomusicology
student, Sheffield University
“The Oral History of Recorded Sound
collection provides valuable interviews with
those directly involved in the development
of stereo recording technique and
commercial decision making. As periods of
technical experimentation, the processes
are often poorly documented and these first
hand accounts provide an invaluable insight
into the methods employed,”
