Scholars' Information Requirements in a Digital Age
=====================================
Apologies for any cross posting
This report results from a broadly consultative, year-long investigation into
how to encourage scholars to make more and better use of digital
resources and information technologies in their research and
teaching.
Though focusing in particular on the needs of arts and humanities scholars
within UK universities and colleges, its conclusions and its
strategic and policy recommendations will be of interest to in
library, heritage, archives, and schools sectors whether working in
the UK or elsewhere.
Comments on the consultation draft are welcomed and should be sent to the
editors at [log in to unmask] Those comments received by 31 October 1998 will be
considered when the report is revised for final publication in November.
The report is part of the AHDS's "Managing Digital Collections" publication
series which deals with strategic issues of interest to those who develop,
manage, and encourage use of digital scholarly and heritage collections. Other
titles include:
"A Strategic Policy Framework for Creating and Preserving Digital
Collections"
"Discovering Online Resources Across the Humanities. A Practical
Implementation of the Dublin Core"
