Dear MCG'ers,
With apologies for cross-posting, but I thought that many of you might
be interested in the latest report from the Strategic Content Alliance,
part of Jisc.
Called 'Sustaining Our Digital Future - Institutional Strategies for
Digital Content', the report provides an in-depth view of how different
types of institution are developing and managing sustainable digital
programmes. The Imperial War Museum is one of the 3 institutions used as
the basis of Case Studies, and I would strongly recommend watching Di
Lees' excellent short film about how the IWM team have approached their
Digital Strategy.
Resources, links and video are available on Collections Link at
http://www.collectionslink.org.uk/discover/sustaining-digital/1623-susta
ining-our-digital-future-new-jisc-report.
If you're an impatient type and want to go straight to the stuff, the
SCA blog contains links to the report, films and related resources:

tions/
The Collections Trust will be talking to the SCA about the new Digital
Benchmarks for Museums & Arts Organisations, which we published for
consultation last week. Many thanks to those of you that have already
downloaded, trialled and fed back about the model. The consultation runs
to the 28th February, so there is still time to let us know what you
think! http://www.tiny.cc/digitalbenchmarks.
All best,
Nick
