Download the final report
JISC, in collaboration with the Research Information Network (RIN), commissioned a study to identify the key priorities for future digitisation of content held within UK Higher Education institutions.
The aims of the study were to:
- identify priority collections for potential digitisation housed within UK HE’s libraries, archives, museums as well as faculties and departments
- assess users’ needs and demand for special collections to be digitised across all disciplines, including the life and physical sciences as well as the arts, humanities and social sciences
- produce a synthesis of available knowledge about users’ needs with regard to usability and format of digitised resources
- provide recommendations for a strategic approach to digitisation within the wider context and activity of leading players both in the public and commercial sector
