JISC Digitisation Programme
• JISC Digitisation programme• 22 projects – c.£22m of funding• Phase 1 – 2004 – 07• Phase 2 - 2007 - 09• Some notable successes – British
Library Newspapers, Freeze Frame, First World War Poetry Archive, Nineteenth-Century Pamphlets

Digitisation Problems
• Public sector funding – c. £160m• Despite some sparkling successes, e.g
Darwin Online or Old Bailey Online• Many sites without users• Many sites not sustained• Value for money for public-sector purse• Digitisation falling off radar off some funding

JISC Digitisation Programme
• Particular strategic elements put in place to respond to these issues
• Sustainability – five years at least– Different business models to support this
• Marketing and Comms Plans – from project proposal to after project launch
• Building community of expertise – sharing of best practice, tools, documentation, mutual reinforcement.

Publishers Skills
• Do publishers worry about these things? Natural part and parcel of commercial publishing – who would publish without users and a long-term plan
• E.g. State Papers Online 1509-1714• House of Commons Parliamentary
Papers• Can university libraries learn from this?

Sharing the Skills
• JISC asked projects to look at harnessing commerical skills
• 4 examples of digi projects engaging with publishers, e.g JSTOR British Pamphlets
• Testing different models for sustainability• Gives a test bed for further work in the
future• Case studies by Ithaka also part of this
work

Next steps for digitisation
• But there are still problems• Under-use• Digital Library infrastructure• Archipelago of content• Creating critical mass• Openness of data

How can bring this content together?
• Plenty of portals have already tried this with only partial success
• We need to open up content to multiple standards for humans and machines
• ‘You might not have the best idea for your data’
• Using RSS, JSON, RDF• APIs – Flickr, Brooklyn Museum
![Page 25: Digitised Content: What universities can learn from publishers and what publishers can learn from universities](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/5549f6ebb4c9055b7a8b465d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
New users
• Great War Archive part of First World War Poetry Archive
• Encouraged general public to digitise their own collections
• Built up a Flickr group, and a community of interest
• Project hosts at Oxford University reached out to a whole new set of users
