Can their collections be presented side-by-side? Would users benefit if they were? When Historic New England, the nation's oldest and largest regional heritage organization set out to put all of its collections online in a single database, staff suddenly found themselves thinking about questions like these. In addition to providing an overview of the organization's Collections Access Project, this presentation will consider the ways in which new technology dissolves traditional divisions between information and curatorial professionals.

CleanJohn Palfrey: “A Future for Libraries in a Digital-Plus Era” | On November 29th, 2011, Simmons GSLIS hosted a lecture by John Palfrey entitled "A Future for Libraries in a Digital-Plus Era”. The lecture was sponsored by the Allen Smith Visiting Scholars Program. Dr. Palfrey is the Henry N. Ess Professor of Law and Vice Dean for Library and Information Resources at Harvard Law School and the Faculty Co-Director at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society. Some people say that there is no future for libraries. In an era of Google and eBooks, the need for libraries, this thinking goes, is diminishing rapidly. In this lecture, John Palfrey takes the opposite viewpoint: that the need for libraries and librarians is in fact growing, not diminishing. This lecture will explore the changing attitudes of young people toward information; the importance of experimentation, innovation, and collaboration in information technologies; and the changing (but increasingly important) role for libraries in a digital age.
