    cardiCast 96 – Sae Ra Germaine and Conferences after Twitter

    In the second in our GLAM After Twitter series, Hugh speaks to Sae Ra Germaine, Deputy CEO of CAVAL, volunteering addict, and conference organiser. Sae Ra has run over twenty conferences both in the technology and GLAM communities, and the overlap between them.

    Sae Ra talks about the differences between community and corporate conferences, the work that conferences do for a profession or group, and what Twitter did for and to conferences as learning opportunities, community events, and spaces.

    Golden Dragon Museum is the Chinese Cultural Centre of Australia. The museum opened in 1991 to document, interpret and preserve Chinese heritage in Australia. In early 2021 Dr Sophie Couchman, an expert in Chinese Australian history and culture, was commissioned to undertake a Significance Assessment of the Golden Dragon Museum’s Collection.  For the first time, the 30,000 or so objects in the Collection were considered and assessed, looking both at key individual pieces and the Collection as a whole.

    Have lunch with newCardigan and ASA colleagues and friends (see details below) followed by a special 1 hour guided tour of the Museum by CEO Hugh Leschen with a brief Q&A afterwards. Research Officer Leigh McKinnon will also be available to have a chat and answer questions.

    cardiCast 95 – Alissa McCulloch and Library Twitter

    Hugh speaks with Alissa McCulloch about what it was like to develop a professional identity at the height of “Library Twitter”. What was it that made the experience so intoxicating, and so powerful? What did it do for the Australian library profession? And what dangers were already lurking there, unnoticed?

    Alissa is a metadata strategist with responsibility for metadata quality analysis, standards alignment, workflow design, reparative description and data flows beyond the catalogue.

    New cardiCast series – What’s next after GLAM Twitter?

    For a few years, Twitter was the place to be if you wanted to keep up with the latest professional developments in GLAM. But just like the saying about going bankrupt, Twitter got worse “slowly, and then suddenly”. In our upcoming series we will talk to four GLAM workers about what made GLAM Twitter so great, and the benefits and possible futures of other ways we communicate and collaborate as professionals.

    The third plate: field notes on the future of food / Dan Barber
    Home cooking : a writer in the kitchen / Laurie Colwin
    Blood, bones and butter: the inadvertent education of a reluctant chef / Gabrielle Hamilton
