Digitised content in the UK research library and archives sector
journal contribution
posted on 2006-06-14, 11:48 authored by Barbara Bultmann, Rachel Hardy, Adrienne Muir, Clara WictorA study of the current provision of digitised collections for researchers in the
UK higher education sector was carried out through desk research, a Webbased
questionnaire of research libraries and interviews. The study identified
a great deal of digitised material in the sector and there has been
considerable expenditure of UK public funds in the creation of digital material
in the last ten years. However, funding of digitisation been piecemeal and
uncoordinated. It is clear that there is a need for coordination, but no
agreement on how it should be implemented. Any future national approach
would have to be a co-ordinated and distributed, rather than centralised, one.
