Our Hopes for this User Group Meeting • Not a marketing forum for KE • Forum for all KE EMu users to discuss aspirations for and issues facing their institutions • Create a direction for the development of KE EMu • Create formal organising committee • Determine mechanism to document outcomes and report to other user groups
Evolution of Collection Management • Cataloguing now well understood • Back capture still important • Processes need streamlining • Improve mechanisms to capture knowledge • Must go beyond objects and add value to them • Capture knowledge of experts • Focus on access and outputs • Need comprehensive web strategy • Improve interoperability and information sharing • Contribute to and promote standards
