Digitisation Strategy: priorities Vision: To build sustainable and coherent e-

resources that meet the needs of and are of benefit to learning, teaching and research in the United Kingdom.

Priorities:– Make the hidden visible: enable access to and

use of difficult or impossible to access collections– Address a recognised need or gap within

learning, teaching or research provision– Map to a particular area of the curriculum or

research interest– Inspire new avenues of research, or new

approaches within learning and teaching– Contribute to creating critical mass within a

given area or help to create a theme across previously unassociated materials

– Would not otherwise be funded, or be able to attract significant funding from other sources

– Are at risk from being lost to our community through sale, deterioration or disaggregation

Digitisation Strategy: collections Standards based: employ and develop standards for digital capture and

description, and digital preservation

Interoperable: deploy the standards specified within the JISC Information Environment for interoperability and offer excellence in resource discovery

User Focussed: have been created with a high level of user engagement, offer a high quality user experience

Innovative: explore new approaches and embrace current developments in technology

Contextualised: are accompanied by contextual examples to help take up for learning and research

Sustainable: where suitable service provision and business models can be put in place to ensure future sustainability and preservation

Legal: where all third party rights including copyright have been cleared for a minimum ten year term educational use and re-use
