Planning for a Successful Project by Joanne Lomax Smith
Abstract: Digitisation projects can often become focused solely on the
'digitisation' part of the project. This paper seeks to present the factors
of project management that are essential to the smooth running of a project
and which can help make sure that the digitisation part is forced back into
its place as a useful tool rather than the sole purpose of the project.
Projects without pain: demystifying digitisation with the Higher Education
Digitisation Service
Joanne Lomax Smith and Brian Robinson Paper for Vine, issue 17 (forthcoming).
Abstract: Digitisation should not provoke fear. This paper looks at ways of
making a digitisation project run smoothly and introduces the work of the
Higher Education Digitisation Service (HEDS). Issues such as preparation,
work flow issues and the decision to digitise in-house or to outsource are
discussed.
HEDS is the Higher Education Digitisation Service, a JISC Service based at
the University of Hertfordshire.
