Digitisation
Can I quickly follow up Alison's message by saying that the IT Panel
is planning to devote its next Forum to this topic- date and place
currently under consideration.
I should like to ask whether anyone has used an outside bureau for
digitisation. These are well established in the commercial sector
and make sense in terms of access to the latest hardware etc- but
obviously there is a concern about preservation standards. I know
about HEDS (Higher Education Digitisation Service based at Hatfield)
but should be glad to know of others claiming expertise in this area.
If anyone has any issues/experience which they think should be aired
at the Forum please let me know.
