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: http://bit.ly/hackbdaccess-report

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
