When we share, do they care? Using Impact Assessment to understand how our digital presence changes lives.
Keynote address for Sharing is Caring, 1st April 2014, Copenhagen, Denmark
We, as memory organizations, have the wealth of human knowledge and experience within our collections and it is our responsibility to share that with the world - we should seek to educate, to enlighten and to entertain. And increasingly, our ability to share is becoming ever more feasible because, just like a candle's flame, when we share digitally we enable lots of other flames to be lit at little cost other than our initial willingness to share. But I often hear folk quibble about whether the economic models underlying these approaches are fair and affordable.
