Four questions to set the BHL agenda for the next 5 years

On Life & Literature Day 2 from 1:30pm - 3:30pm we have set aside time for having attendees help chart the course of BHL developments for the next 5 years. Chris F will speak for 5-10 minutes about the breakout sessions that follow, then attendees will self-select into 4 breakout groups in different rooms. We want each breakout to be composed of people with different backgrounds, so these questions are specifically not tied to the themes of the panels. Each breakout session will have a leader & a recorder.

Breakout Session 1. (Theme: Content & Connections): What new types of content, and connections between content, should BHL focus on bringing into its collection in the next 5 years?

• Leader: Suzanne
• Reporter:

Breakout Session 2. (theme: Technical Advancement): What new technologies should BHL adopt and integrate, or plan for, in the next 5 years?

• Leader: Chris F.
• Reporter: William

Breakout Session 3. (theme: New Collaborations): What other institutions, domains, or user groups should BHL engage with in the next 5 years?

• Leader: Connie
• Reporter: Grace

Breakout Session 4. (theme: Educational Outreach): What kinds of tools does BHL need, and how should BHL be structured, so that its content can be used in educational settings and for other outreach activities?

• Leader: Marie
• Reporter: Beth Sanzenbacher

Assignment of attendees:

• Will do random assignment of attendees, sorted by last name & allow people to change
• Put a sticker on badges, will print these ourselves
