On Monday November 2nd, Dr. Adam Farquhar will launch the third annual British Library Labs Symposium, followed by a keynote from Professor David De Roure, Director of the Oxford e-Research Centre. Chief Librarian, Caroline Brazier, will present awards to the Competition (2015) winners, who will follow with presentations on their winning projects. After lunch, this year’s Alice’s Adventures Off the Map winners will be announced, followed by presentations from the winners of the BL Labs Awards, which recognises projects that have actively used the British Library’s digital content in Research, Creative/Artistic and Entrepreneurial ways. The afternoon will end with a thought provoking panel session discussing the issue of opening up digital content for memory organisations, chaired by George Oates, Director of Good, Form & Spectacle. The Symposium will conclude with a networking reception.
