Greetings Colleagues,
Just a report back on my mailing to the list some weeks ago on this
subject. I received replies from 2 institutions, but have been doing
some research around the question.
It would appear that there is a fairly equal split between those
institutions which devolve the scanning role out to departments
(University of Northampton have some nice materials), and those who
adopt a "gatekeeper" role (generally within the Library/ Learning
Resources function: University of Manchester) in which academic staff
members can request scanning, but this is then checked and carried out
by Library staff.
Here at Rave, as we are a fairly small institution, we will probably
adopt a distributed model. CLA are very keen to assist institutions with
this side of things during the pilot phase.
Best Wishes,
Steve b.
