The IMLS-funded Blockchain National Forum <\/strong><\/a>event was held in San Jose, CA on Monday, August 6, 2018. The format for this live-streamed event included panel presentations and discussions from notable experts in the information professions, business, government, and urban planning. They focused on suggested blockchain applications that might be employed by libraries and archives. The day\u2019s proceedings were live-streamed and participants had the opportunity to submit questions and comments. <\/p>\n

The goal of this forum sponsored the SJSU School of Information and a grant from IMLS was to discuss and make recommendations about the future uses of blockchain technology within the information professions. The results of the forum are the basis for a White Paper that will be submitted to IMLS and distributed to the information communities.<\/p>\n

This project is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services \u2013 LG-98-17-0209-17<\/strong><\/a>. The views, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this website do not necessarily represent those of the Institute of Museum and Library Services.<\/p>\n

In preparation for the National Forum the participants prepared Executive Summaries<\/a><\/strong> on possible blockchain applications and considerations for the information professions.<\/p>\n
