Digitisation, Curation and Two-Way Engagement is a feasibility study on the digitisation and curation of collections from the general public. The study aims to support the JISC Strategy by improving and ensuring sustainable access to electronic resources through digitisation and national delivery of key resources in multiple formats. Work will be carried out with other public sector content providers in order to better co-ordinate activities and strive towards a more common information environment.

Digitisation, Curation and Two-Way Engagement

Overview

Following the success of projects such as the University of Oxford’s Great War Archive, JISC has continued exploration into the concept of community collections, that is digital resources that are created or enhanced by both user groups inside and outwith traditional academic audience. The report Digitisation, Curation and Two-Way Engagement was a feasibility study on this approach, looking at some of the policy and organisational issues that it raises.

Aims and objectives

  1. Articulate the purpose, advantages and benefits of such an approach to creating and curating digital collection
  2. Identify potential subject areas or topics where there could be a fruitful dynamic between the university sector and the wider public
  3. Provide recommendations on how such a programme of work could be instigated
