The purpose of digitisation:to educate, enlighten & entertain
Memory organisations are where a
community nourishes its memory, imagination &
creativity.
Where it connects with the past
& invents its future.

The Attention Economy
We will compete: for attention, for eyeballs on our collections and resources, for time and energy from our communities.

“Old Bailey Online reaches out to communities, such as family historians, who are keen to find a personal history, reflected in a national story... Digital resources both create a new audience,
and reconfigure our analysis to favour the
individual.”Professor Tim Hitchcock, University of
Hertfordshire
“Digitised resources allow me to discover the hidden lives of
disabled people, who have not traditionally left records of their
lives. I have found disability was discussed by many writers in the Eighteenth Century and that
disabled men and women played an important role in the social life of the time.”
Dr David Turner, Swansea University

Bestowing economic & community benefits
www.kdcs.kcl.ac.uk/innovation/inspiring.html
Glasgow Museum's Collection is the city’s biggest single fiscal asset valued at £1.4 billion. It contains around 1.2 million objects. On average only 2% of the collection is exhibited to the public at any one time. Digital access is opening up further access to these collections.
A major impact sought is to increase self-confidence in the populace – to feel less marginalised, less insignificant, less unheard. Increased feelings of self-worth through interaction with the Museums will spill over into every aspect of their lives.
Digitised content & JISC Collections negotiations
save the sector ~£43 million per year

On the other hand...
“You want a massive digital collection: SCAN THE STACKS!... You agonize over digital metadata and the
purity thereof...
And you offer crap access.
If I ask you to talk about your collections, I know that you will glow as you describe the amazing
treasures you have. When you go for money for digitization projects, you talk up the incredible cultural value...
But then if I look at the results of those digitization projects,
I find the shittiest websites on the planet. It’s like a gallery spent all its money buying art and then just stuck the paintings in supermarket bags and leaned
them against the wall.”

provoke the National and State Librarians of Australasia, November 2011

A Digital Death Spiral?
![Page 18: Planning for Success: Surviving and Thriving through understanding the Value of Digitisation](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110306/554c50d5b4c905452e8b479f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
“digitisation = funding”
“Digital is everything today”
“who knows how much it’ll cost, but digital’s bound to be wonderful”
“Planning is so 20th Century, let’s be Agile”
“cos our competition / Google / my mate is doing it”
“cos if we build it, they will come!”
Signs you are in the Digital Death Spiral

The Project Managers Dilemma
In reality, most projects can have no more than TWO of these!
LOW COST
FAST

Planning and communication are essential!
“Planning is an unnatural process. It is much nicer to just get on with the job: failure then comes as a complete surprise instead of being preceded by a period of worry and doubt.” Sir John Harvey-Jones
Technology projects usually fail because:
32% - inadequate project management & control
20% - lack of communication
17% - failure to define objectives
17% - lack of familiarity with project scope & complexity
14% - incorrect technology & project sizeFigures courtesy of KPMG
