What is impact and why consider it?
What do we mean by impact?
• Reaching intended audience• Reaching new audiences• Attracting users• Attracting new usage• Enabling new research questions• Enabling new approaches to education

What’s the point?
Gather data for investors and stakeholders
Use your impact in future funding applications
Know that you’re reaching your audience
Be iterative and adapt
Develop and extend your resource
Ensure you’re a relevant part of the community

Where to begin? Identify your audience and key stakeholders
Set your goals. What types of impact do you envisage your resource having?
What steps are you taking to ensure these types of impact?
Identify connections
What resources do you see as successful in terms of audience and impact?
Do you see your resource as part of a network of connected resources?

Interviews, Group Interviews, Focus Groups
Time intensive, but productive if you are careful about what you ask!
Different stakeholders: Project team: Positive view of the work
only Broader stakeholders: While the digital
project was good, it also introduced tensions in the broader setting of the library
New kinds of serendipity, wide range of users

Knowing the Users
Historians? (would be looking at older articles) Not typical PubMed users Search interface issues / limited search
Clinicians? (would be looking at newer articles) Not typically reading 100 year old articles
Other users? Paths of discovery?
![Page 29: 2013 Oxford Digital Humanities Summer School Workshop](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081413/5469d240af7959842c8b71f8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
New uses?
Majority of downloads targeted more recent material – opening up of new resources to clinicians
More thorough and comprehensive searches Historians reported more comprehensive
search results (quantitative results) Also reported increased browsing,
greater serendipity, due to time saved finding articles

It’s a huge change. You can do things much more quickly, read much more widely, find connections…it’s very, very important. “
![Page 45: 2013 Oxford Digital Humanities Summer School Workshop](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081413/5469d240af7959842c8b71f8/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
What might take you several months if not years of research, you could do in hours, days, a week. So I think that means that it makes the nature of your research different because it allows you quantitative information much more quickly, which then allows you to maybe think about how you might use that information differently, because you’ve got so much more time.

Possible discussion topics
• Discoverability • of what?• by whom?• by what means? (manual, automatic,
guided, etc.)• Citation habits and the link to impact• Community engagement• Engaging atypical communities• Enabling unexpected uses
• Having the resources to measure your resources
• Impact ‘agenda’ versus increasing one’s impact
