Dear Archives and Human Rights Group,

ICA-AtoM discussion list moved to GoogleGroups

peterVG — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 22:15:12 +0000

After some discussion with the ica.org webmaster at the ICA Congress in Kuala Lumpur we have decided to move the ICA-AtoM project discussion list to GoogleGroups as we are not able to get all the functionality we require to facilitate the beta launch and testing in the near term with the current ica.org discussion list.

All subscribers to this list should receive an invite to join the GoogleGroup list in the next couple of days (as soon as Google approves my bulk subscription). Once you have accepted the invite you are able to post messages.

Student Dissertations & Theses - online access & archiving

Chris Woods — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 08:52:44 +0000

A common problem reported by conservation professionals and researchers is that they don't know that someone, somewhere has already produced the information that they need as part of a student research project. Students' bibliographical references can be extremely useful but are rarely seen outside their courses.

• David Leitch, (incoming) ICA Secretary-General
• Perrine Cannavagio, ICA Deputy Secretary-General
• George MacKenzie, Keeper of the Records of Scotland
• Abdullah El Reyes, Director, United Arab Emirates Center for Documentation & Research
• Fareed Hassan Al Marzouqi, Director of Support Services, United Arab Emirates Center for Documentation & Research

We reviewed the ICA-AtoM feature roadmap for the 1.0 beta release due in July 2008 and the stable 1.2 release due in June 2009. We discussed the preparations for the ICA-AtoM sessions at the upcoming ICA Congress in Kuala Lumpur, including the preparation of a demo CD to be made available to all attendees. The Steering Committee also discussed copyright, license, trademarks and the project's governance structure. We prepared a draft organizational chart (see attached). This chart, along with the membership of the ICA-AtoM Steering Committee, will be finalized at the Steering Committee's next meeting in Kuala Lumpur.
