Post event resources are now available from the Discovery Summit hosted by Jisc and the British Library. A group of international archivists, librarians, museum curators and developers, in London and online, came together to share ideas and approaches and to uncover commonalities and new lessons in the area of resource discovery.

Discovery Summit 2013

Capitalising on open data to make library, archive and museum collections easier to find and use

 

#disc13

Discovery of resources for research and teaching is an area of almost continual upheaval and presents many challenges for libraries, museums, archives and other cultural and educational institutions. Discovery 2013 saw delegates from the UK and across the world come together to discuss ways of collaborating to address the common technical, political and social challenges that are preventing us realising our grand visions for better resource discovery.
