Hello all, We are looking for collaborative partners for a session proposal. Possible session themes that would fit with our proposal ideas include: - Content creation, creating research tools and digital archives for interdisciplinary scholarship - Collaborative digitization projects - Digital archives - Digital humanities and interdisciplinary applications for library resources Our individual paper idea, which we would like to grow into a session, is tentatively titled "From content collector to content creator: building a collaborative digital archive and research data set". Our project is The William J. Hill Texas Artisans and Artists Archive (website will launch 1-2013) in which we are expanding the concept of digital archive by building a collection based almost entirely on collaborative content as well as creating a large-scale data set for research use. This is a natural fit with "crafting our future" and speaks well to the Technology & Systems, and to a lesser extent the Collection Development, themes that conference attendees indicated were of interest. Please reach out if you would like to talk about working together on a session. Best regards, Marie Marie Wise Project Manager, William J.
