Delivering culture and heritage to audiences online has become increasingly important in 2020.
CILIP Cymru Wales (CCW), CILIP Metadata & Discovery Group (MDG), CILIP Local Studies Group and People’s Collection Wales (PCW) invite librarians across Wales to an online PCW session, which will show librarians how to share digital content, re-purpose it via the Hwb and Living memory initiatives, and measure its impact – all via the PCW site.
This webinar will be followed up with bespoke training to help libraries in Wales get their collections online.
Details
Join via Zoom on Friday 20 November, 12-1pm.
The session is free and open to all. Register via the event page.
