The Significance 2.0 Project Manager has analysed the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the Significance (2001) publication and presents results HERE.

The Signficance (2001) SWOT analysis combines Significance (2001) Survey results (please see Second Announcement on previous page) with project requirements stipulated by the primary funding partner (Commonwealth government), and the Collections Council Board (Steering Committee). The Collections Council thanks all who responded to the Survey. It is intended that the SWOT analysis will provide the main written reference for the Authors (Ms Kylie Winkworth and Ms Roslyn Russell), Sector Advocate (Mr Ian Cook), and the Project Manager / Editor (Ms Veronica Bullock) as Significance 2.0 develops during 2008. 

Some of the Commonwealth funding was provided for sector consultation on Significance 2.0. The Collections Council therefore convened a Significance 2.0 Workshop in Canberra on 30 April 2008, and thanks the Australian Library and Information Association for hosting the venue. Thirty invitees attended this event, which was designed both to consider the salient areas of Significance (2001) for review, and to bring forward new ideas. A particular focus of the Workshop was to consider the concept of significance across all four major collecting domains (archives, galleries, libraries and museums).

A subsequent Announcement on the Significance Project page will provide more information from the Workshop, including some of the presentations, participant evaluation of the Workshop, and the resulting indicative Content List prepared by the Project Team.
