Gena Chattin commented on the post, Session Proposal: Seeking a Digital Interface for a Project about Maps, Bees, and Old Houses, on the site THATCamp NOLA (New Orleans) 2013 right now

Sounds like a great working session idea! Can you edit the post to add the category “Session Proposal” and give it a title so people will recognize it during selection on Friday? Without a title, I’m afraid people […]

Gena Chattin commented on the post, Elle, Edmonde Charles-Roux. The role of biographers, fashion and Coco Chanel, on the site THATCamp NOLA (New Orleans) 2013 right now

This is a huge issue and one that grant funding agencies have only begun to consider, much less tackle. Even if the collections don’t grow, there’s so much cost associated with keeping up the hardware and […]

It’s everywhere. Every library or museum of a certain size seems to have digital collections in it. You can’t escape it. It’s CONTENTdm!
