Identifying priorities for digitisation and lobbying for funding
Identifying priorities for digitisation and lobbying for funding: A glimpse from DK Birte Christensen-Dalsgaard State and University Library, Aarhus, Denmark
Planets: User study – use of collections • • • Quality Access Search and discovery Communications Context Personalisation
Interview with three futurologists • If knowledge is not available 24/7 and accessible in a meaningful way – then it is not used • Searching on the basis of words will disappear – will start to search on the basis of argumentation • Data are stored in international, interlinked databases. • Let some librarians and department heads go and make one big research library with one leader. • Some data becomes cheaper to reconstruct than to store.
Ministry of Culture Response to i 2010 • Three working groups • Selection criteria and their consequence • Legal aspects • Access and Use • Report on the organisational and financial aspects – by Gartner • Digitalisation ~ 400 mio. Euro
Recommendation from legal working group: License model • Proposed a “general license” - rights owner’s organisations may conclude extended collective license agreements in areas where they find it useful • Extended collective licensing means that license agreement is by law extended to have effect also on right owners who are not member of the contracting organisation
Recommendation from access group: Vision and Ambition • The digital cultural heritage must be activated to ensure that the socioeconomical potential of the collections is realized • The ambition is that at least 20% of the Danish population makes regular use of the cultural heritage
Recommendation from access group: Realization of ambition Users Standards for - Metadata - Formats - Facilities - Tools - Etc. Mash-up Remix Share Social Broker Archives and Collections
Cultural institutions continued effort • Create prototype • Test prototype in educational environment • Create vision folder – with politicians as target group • Create general understanding for the necessity of mobilising the collections of the cultural institutions • Minimise the future digitalisation effort – get into the work flow
Digitize now as part of ingest process – to avoid doing it in the future Programmes from Ritzau televisionl: 100. 031 timer = 153 Tb radio: 119. 753 timer = 36 Tb totalt: 219. 784 timer = 189 Tb Digital Storage
Summary • Create political understanding for the necessity of creating digital collections – based on use scenarios • Work on licensing models for the use of the content • Start to supplement/replace the analogue deposit process with a digital one
