This brings the work MLA and Becta have been doing in this area neatly into focus. We have developed some guidance to mla's that should be published soon-ish.
This is also an area of development for the DfES eStrategy - a number of mlas are on a DfES Special Interest Group in this area.
The development of the National Education Network could offer a new insight to the problem. All children (and students) will have authenticated access to the network which could act as a 'walled garden'. British Pathe is already functioning in this way through a direct connection to the NEN.
These developments may open up a new way of approaching the issue ...

Subject: Re: Image Banks for Schools - NOF Digitise
Claire and all,
Have you read the terms and conditions on the enrichuk site?
These Ts&Cs are a nightmare for teachers.
And what happens after Dec 2007? If I was a teacher and gathered together a
range of images from this site that are particularly suitable to help
teaching/learning of a certain topic, and constructed teaching materials
around them, then in 17 months time all that work will have gone to waste
because I will no longer be licenced to use the materials.
If the MLA sector really want to gain a role in education, before schools
find ways of getting what they need, while ignoring the offerings of MLA
organisations, then some serious work needs to happen soon - to understand
educational needs and to develop business models that can service that need,
while still fulfilling the needs of the public-service, cost-recovery and
profit-making business models of MLA sector organisations.
I was involved in a major piece of work looking at all these issues over a
year ago, and despite that piece of work having been circulated to key
people and discussed, I regret to say I see nothing happening in the MLA
sector which is going to have a serious impact in helping schools find what
they need.
Regards
Roger.
