Sorry to intrude, my name is Martha Angonese and I am a final year BSc Information Management student at Manchester Metropolitan University. For my final year dissertation I am looking at the use of digitisation in libraries and I am preparing case-studies on 3 libraries which have invested in digitising some of their collections (British Library, Vatican Library, Central Library of Florence) and making it available via the internet or other electronic media (CD-ROM). I would very much like to hear from scholars who have actually used digitized images for their research and what you thought of it.(The digitised images do not necessarily need to be from the above named libraries, but it would be great if any of you has accessed them). I am interested in what the main problems or deterrents are for using digital images opposed to the original or facsimiles (and of course the perceived advantages) I would be very grateful for any response. Yours, Martha Angonese [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
