Horizon Report 2010: Projects in E-Books, Open Content, Mobile Learning, and Augmented Reality
Abstract:
This web seminar includes speakers representing six projects featured in the latest Horizon Report. In this special one-and-a-half hour ELI webinar, you’ll be taken on a tour of their work in electronic books, open content, and augmented reality. The six presentations will be followed by an open question and answer period with the presenters.
IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services) Awards $19.5 Million in Museums for America Grants to 178 Institutions; Several Projects Involve Digitization and Cataloging
“This year’s MFA grant recipients are truly an exciting and diverse group of museums, representing the remarkable ways that large and small institutions are serving communities. Funded projects support digitization and collections management plans, enhanced accessibility, environmental literacy, and much more. The work of these institutions will educate and inspire citizens of all ages,” said Acting Director Marsha L. Semmel. “IMLS is pleased to support museums as they engage their communities through programming tailored to their specific needs, and this round of MFA grants furthers this work.”
Awarded in three categories (engaging communities, building institutional capacity, and collections stewardship), MFA grants fund projects such as educational programs and exhibits, staff and volunteer training, research, planning, technological upgrades, and equipment purchases.
