DEDCC suggested an information-sharing
event which materialized as the Digital Resource Access &
Management (DRAM) retreat. Held at Amherst College on July 12,
2005, the Five College retreat was organized by a planning group
of staff from our libraries, archives, educational technology,
museums, and imaging collections.

a report which was distributed to retreat participants and the
Five College Librarians Council. Included were a list of areas
for possible collaboration and a recommendation to proceed with
additional planning and communication. |

a more permanent Five College group to pursue issues raised and ideas
