Author Information

I have been leading and managing the British Library Labs (BL Labs). We help scholars, artists, entrepreneurs, educators and innovators to work on and incubate their ideas of working with the BL's digital content through competitions, awards, projects, exhibitions and other engagement activities. I have been sharing my knowledge and experiences by helping to build an international community with colleagues to bring all kinds of people from Galleries, Libraries, Museums and Archives (GLAMs) from around the world together that either had, are planning or already have digital experimental 'Labs'. The network aims to build better digital 'Labs' our users and open up our data and services for everyone in the world to use on their own inspirational projects. Abigail Potter is a Senior Innovation Specialist with the Library of Congress Digital Innovation Lab. She's currently working to support new and creative uses of the Library's digital collections that engage diverse audiences.
