Hiring Librarians blog. Practical Open Source Software for Libraries. Home. Digitisation Strategy 2010-2015. The Library has developed the Digitisation Strategy 2010-2015 to bridge the gap between the level of access to its print and analogue collections, and the new expectations of customer access in the digital world. It explains how our digitisation programmes will satisfy the needs of current and future users. The strategy outlines three major digitisation programmes within the Library: Digitisation for access will concentrate on providing remote access to New Zealand’s documentary heritage and taonga collections in a digital world.Digitisation for preservation will focus on using digitisation to meet preservation goals, and particularly to migrating the intellectual content of at-risk collection items when the physical object is deteriorating.Digitisation for customers and donors will continue its practice of digitising materials for customers and donors upon request.
When this strategy is implemented the Library will hold a digital duplicate of many of its heritage items. References. National & State Libraries Australasia. State Library of Victoria.

Library Jobs. Public Library 2.0: Culture Change?', Ariadne Issue 64. Printer-friendly version Send to friend Sarah Hammond explores UK public libraries' growing participation in social media to reach their audiences online, with a focus on blogging. Beginning in the mid 2000s I began keeping an eye on how libraries have been getting involved with social software - I started this haphazardly just out of interest but then I started to be more systematic when I needed to explore online resources for my organisation, the National Railway Museum. When I left to pursue my MA in Librarianship at the University of Sheffield I took the opportunity to do some serious research into the subject with a focus on UK public libraries as it seemed to me that they were hugely under-represented online.
Although that research met its purpose in gaining me my degree in 2009 I was not content to leave it there; I had had such an overwhelming response to my online survey I knew that this was a topic that excited interest, both positive and negative. Initial Research Findings.
