Inspiring the Digital Landscape of Libraries and Museums
We’re all aware of the enormous impact COVID-19 has had in all aspects of our lives. This is also a pivotal moment for Libraries and Museums globally as we deal with issues of financial resilience and finding new ways to engage with our audiences. At Microsoft, Satya Nadella talks about the three “Rs” – respond, reopen and reimagine. If we consider the silver lining in this tragedy, this is a pivotal opportunity for change. Not change for the sake of change, rather change to expand our ability to achieve our organizational missions. We may well look back on this as a transformational moment in the history of Museums and Libraries globally.
The second in our series of webinars discusses the reimagine opportunities arising from COVID-19. We’ll host discussions with three leaders in Libraries, Museums and Microsoft Education on the opportunities they anticipate.
