Collections Trust and Brighton-based online consultancy TalkWebSolutions have announced a new partnership to re-launch the award-winning Collections Link service for museum, archive and library professionals.

Launched in 2006, Collections Link has become the leading source of Collections Management information. Following extensive consultation with the UK and international Collections Management community, the service is being redeveloped to provide a platform for practitioners to connect, share their knowledge and learn from the experiences of their peers.

Nick Poole, Collections Trust Chief Executive, commented:

“We are hugely excited about this next phase in the evolution of Collections Link. Collections Management is a global community, and it has never been more important to demonstrate that we can work together both to achieve greater value for the public and to deliver more efficient management. To achieve our vision for Collections Management, we need a partner at the frontline of social media, and TalkWebSolutions is the perfect choice.”

Nick Tong, TalkWebSolutions CTO commented:

'Collections Trust is a forward- thinking organisation, and we are very excited to be working with them and developing a system to match their vision.  We are developing cutting edge features which will not only make their site stand out, but also stay current for longer, allowing important information to be disseminated to users easily and more efficiently.'

The new Collections Link site will go live in Spring 2010 with a host of new services including tools to help practitioners connect with expert groups and networks; a subscribers’ area to help users find all the Collections Management advice and information they need; and an enhanced database of training and professional development opportunities. If you would like to help ensure that Collections Link meets the needs of the Collections Management community, you can volunteer to test the site as it evolves.

TalkWebSolutions was very excited to hear that after a hefty Greenpeace campaign and consumer backlash, Apple have decided to go greener.  They have promised to reduce the amount of harmful chemicals in their products and earlier this week, Apple walked out of the US Chamber of Commerce after the chamber came out against a Congressional climate change bill. 

TalkWebSolutions is always looking how to green our company and we are delighted that one of the leading computer hardware companies is taking this issue seriously.  There is still a long way to go for all electronic companies however and we as consumers need to keep up the pressure to force them into action for our environment.
