Opioid Industry Document Archive Symposium

  • 1.  Opioid Industry Document Archive Symposium

    Posted 7 hours ago
    Dear colleagues, 
     
    I want to draw your attention to day 2 of the upcoming national symposium for the Opioid Industry Documents Archive (OIDA), a massive and growing collection of documents arising from US investigations and litigation against the opioid industry. Here's the description of that day's panel, to be held Wednesday, May 13, from noon to 2 p.m. Eastern / 9-11 a.m. Pacific:
     
    In the digital age, organizational records are being produced on a scale that dwarfs earlier archives of institutional records. Speakers will talk about the challenges and opportunities of AI and other technology for managing and providing access to massive digital collections like OIDA. 
     
    We've got a great lineup of presenters for this panel. Which is easy and a bit narcissistic for me to say, since I'm one of the speakers (but did not write this copy).
     
    • Christopher Prom, University of Illinois 
    • Luciana Duranti, University of British Columbia 
    • Paco Nathan, Senzing
     
    Free registration is required -- see the event page.  We hope you'll join us for this -- and other -- sessions!
