Meeting Notes

The “press kit” section describes three distinct activities necessary to pull together the press office: • Content from member organizations in the terms of press releases and other outputs. What are some strategic ways to gather, collate and/or harvest these materials? Can we leverage something like Digital Humanities Now (http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Clearinghouse_of_Digital_Preservation_Information) • A list of NDSA member expertise. Could this be accomplished via leveraging LinkedIn profiles? • Database of Press contacts. How to organize this?

Ingrid: LinkedIn is a great way to create environment public availability of list of contacts?
