Other partners

As well as the schools which are partners in the museum there are also a number of other partners. These range from publishing houses such as Elsevier and Manson Publishing to the RCVS Trust to MEDEV. Over the last week we have been busy meeting with these partners.

We met with representatives from Elsevier to discuss what they will be able to contribute to the museum and how this in turn will benefit them as a publisher. A percentage of their material will be made available as Open Educational Resources (OER) in the OVAM with reciprocal links between the publisher site and the museum. Currently we are busy working together and selecting what the most appropriate material to include in the museum will be.

Clare Boulton from the RCVS trust has also been helping us to think about the best way to catalogue the material and categorise it in a sensible and user friendly manner, making it easily accessible via different routes via which users may enter the museum. As well as this Clare has also been helping us consider which historical anatomical resources may be appropriate for inclusion in the museum.
