5 3:30 - 5:00 pm Session 3 – Identity and Collaboration
Increasingly, museums and libraries are working with peer institutions to develop broad networks of cultural heritage institutions, i.e. sharing access to collections, research, etc. What issues are impeding collaboration? Can collaboration actually harm institutions by disrupting identity/branding or upsetting the cohesiveness of a collection? Further, at a time when budget cuts are a major issue for public institutions, partnering with corporations or technology firms may be a good option – but what happens when the line between public and private entities blur?
