Secure information sharing for smarter government

Jim Fretwell, Senior Product Manager, Objective Corporation

Public servants need to share information and participate in processes with other government ecosystem departments, agencies or organisations. Today, this mostly occurs using inefficient methods such as email attachments, thumb drives, DVDs, phone conversations and face-to-face meetings. Newer, web-based tools like file-sharing and collaboration platforms offer more usable solutions. But they also present compliance challenges for RIM

Chair: Stephen Innes

Following the Collecting Archives SIG meeting, there will be a panel discussion:

Topic:“Creating a new box: the state of digitisation of manuscripts and archives in New Zealand libraries and archives”

Digitisation is an accepted and indeed expected form of access to manuscripts and archives collections around the world, but as collectors and curators, how are we dealing with it? Who or what is driving the demand for digitisation? What are the issues we need to address when considering requests for digitisation, or for generating in-house programmes. How shall we present the facsimiles and associated metadata?

Panellists: David Colquhoun (Alexander Turnbull Library); Kate DeCourcy (Sir George Grey Special Collections, Auckland Libraries); Stephen Innes (Special Collections, The University of Auckland Library).

Chair: Sean McMahon
