Second AC+erm colloquium

The second colloquium for the AC+erm Project—focusing on the ‘Process’ facet of the project—was held on 26 March, in the REP conference centre in at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre. Over 30 delegates attended, adding to and extending the data from the e-Delphi data in a series of discussion forums (http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/sd/academic/ceis/re/isrc/themes/rmarea/erm/coll/coll2/)
Forum 1—Delegates were asked to consider and comment on the full list of issues from the Systematic Literature Review and Process e-Delphi study, and to add any issues they felt were missing.

Forum 2—Delegates were divided into six groups; each group was allocated a single issue for discussion and asked to comment on the solutions that had been proposed through the e-Delphi study.

Workshop—Delegates were asked to evaluate and comment on three draft vignettes/tools based on the solutions offered in the e-Delphi study.

In each forum, the delegates were asked to make notes and/or appoint a rapporteur to report back from the discussion; the initial issues/solutions list plus the collated notes of the rapporteurs and individual delegates form the outputs from the colloquium.

The comments and evaluations supplied by the delegates are currently being collated and written up, and will be made available through the Project website as soon as possible.Feel free to comment on the colloquium or on any aspect of the AC+erm project—the more feedback we get, the more we are able to ensure that the project reflects the living as well as the ideal aspects of e-records and e-recordkeeping.
