Sessions
Collaborations within GLAM projects are primarily for galleries, museums, libraries and archives. Can a cultural institution that does not have its own collections be useful for GLAM projects? How does the diversity of activities undertaken by such institutions affect the diversity of activities in the wiki sphere? Employees of The Wojciech Korfanty Institute will research these ideas and present the innovative project of the mobile digitization centre.
This session will also allow all of the participants to experience Mobile Digitization Centre with its equipment.
