Apologies for cross-posting Dear All, As an extension of research previously undertaken for an MSc in Information and Library Management I am looking into what practical steps constitute a diligent search, specifically when digitising orphan works. I am aiming to collect a range of policies or step-by-step guidelines from orphan works digitising institutions and organisations to compare their approaches. This will hopefully result in a best practice framework and collection of important avenues to consider when digitising orphan works to ensure a diligent search has been confidently carried out. Please may I ask if anyone undertaking such projects would be willing to share their diligent search policy or practical step by step guides for staff. If you do not have access to these documents yourself but know of projects which may be able to help I would gratefully welcome any suggestions for further contact. I am aiming to reach as many organisations who have these policies in order to gather as much evidence as possible. These policies will not be published, any responses will be anonymised and be retained purely for my own research and possibly contribute towards a CILIP Chartership portfolio. Many thanks for your time, Lucy _____________________________________________ Lucy Wilkins, University of Bristol Assistant Subject Librarian - Science and Engineering Queen's Building Library 0117 3315417 [log in to unmask] Follow us on Twitter @BristolUniLib To unsubscribe from this mailing list please contact [log in to unmask]
