[Ilf] Society of Indiana Archivists Fall Symposium

[Stankrauff, Alison Harper]

The Society of Indiana Archivists announces their Fall Symposium:

 

Sustainability: Business Planning for Cultural Heritage Repositories -
Digital Initiatives 

Many digitization projects begin with a great idea and some grant
funding.   However, even the most successful projects have trouble
determining how to continue once grant funding ends.  In order to
sustain these worthy efforts, project managers need to plan for
sustainability at the beginning of projects.  Developing a business plan
for sustainability will help "bridge the gap" from noble purpose to
business case and help extends the life of the project.

 

Workshop participants will leave with an understanding of why business
planning is a vital element of overall project plan development, the key
elements to include in a business plan, how to create a business plan
appropriate for their own institution and projects,  and ways to
identify "institutional champions" who constitute the target audience
for the business plan. 

 

The Workshop will feature Laurie Gemmill, Digital Projects Specialist of
OCLC; and case studies presented by John Straw, Director of Archives and
Special Collections at Ball State University; and Elizabeth Swift,
Archivist at Wabash College.

 

SIA's Fall Workshop will be on Friday, November 16th in Indianapolis at
the IUPUI Library's Auditorium. The Workshop will begin at 9:00 a.m. and
end at 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) Lunch will be on your own.

 

Advance registration (before October 26) for SIA members is $40 and for
nonmembers $50.   After the deadline, registration for SIA members is
$50 and for nonmembers $60.  For registration forms and further
