Jisc is offering two one-day workshops to help you increase the reach of your digital collections, optimise them for discovery and evaluate their usage and impact.
‘Enabling the use of digital collections in learning, teaching and research’ will be held on Wednesday 3 May.
‘Measuring usage and impact with digital collections’ will be held on Tuesday 16 May.
If your organisation has digital collections, or plans to develop them, our workshops will help you maximize the reach of those collections online, demonstrate the impact of their usage, and help you build for future sustainability. They will equip you with the knowledge and skills to:
• Increase the visibility of your digital collections for use in learning, teaching and research
• Encourage collaboration between curators and users of digital collections
• Strategically promote your digital collections in appropriate contexts, for a range of audiences
• Optimise your collection for discovery via Google and other search tools
• Use web analytics to track and monitor access and usage of your digital collections
• Evaluate impact and realise the benefits of investment in your digital collections
The programme is focussed on local digital collections that belong directly to the institution including digital archives and institutional repositories, rather than bought in resources such as commercial e-journal or e-book collections.
Both workshops will be held at Jisc, Brettenham House, London, from 1000-1630 and will offer a mix of discussion, practical activities and post-workshop resources to support online resource discovery activities.
