I wanted to share this announcement of an interesting preliminary
report of a broad based study on access practices for born-digital
collections in cultural memory organizations, which I think will be of
interest to CNI-announce readers.
Dear colleagues,
For the past year, a research team has been working to on a project to
map the landscape of born-digital access. The team surveyed over 200
cultural heritage institutions regarding their access policies and
procedures.
The team is preparing to share initial findings at a session at the
Society of American Archivists Annual Meeting (
http://sched.co/2y9i), and we thought
that you might be interested, too. The document outlining our research
is available here:

We welcome any feedback from your membership, and many thanks to those
of you who participated in the survey. If you'd like to follow SAA
and the session on Twitter, please keep an eye on the hashtags #saa15
#s110 next Thursday!
Thanks!
Wendy
