Join us for a screening of AmbITion Scotland's webcast discussion about sharing digital resources to promote access to knowledge and culture
AmbITion Scotland, a digital development organisation for the arts, heritage, and cultural sectors, have given permission for us to broadcast their Inverness event on Digital Public Space live in the Library. The content connects many current issues for the information age, and promises to be an interesting and lively session. From their website: “AmbITion Scotland invites you to think about the internet in a new way. Looking through the lens of the emerging idea of a Digital Public Space, in which everyone everywhere could have unrestricted access to an open resource of culture and knowledge, Bill Thompson will describe a scenario for how we could be sharing digital content more openly. This vision has grown out of the experience of building and sharing cultural archives, but has the potential to become something much wider. •Learn about the history and current premise of the Digital Public Space
•Consider and debate how it could give better open access to knowledge and culture
•Learn about what the open web might mean for citizens and the cultural sector.”
