Digitisation Strategy 2008-2011

Introduction Over the centuries, very many researchers have travelled to London to use the British Library’s collections. More recently, the advent of the Internet and the ability to digitise large quantities of text and images and make them available over the Web has transformed ways of working. For the past two decades, the British Library has undertaken a number of focused digitisation initiatives. More recently, we have entered the world of mass digitisation in partnership with external funding bodies and technology providers. Our digitisation strategy underpins the Library’s corporate strategy to 2011, including our content strategy and digital library programme and these will inform our thinking as we develop our strategy to 2020.

We set out in this paper our vision for the next 10 years and how we will achieve this. Our 10-year vision We aim to help researchers advance knowledge by becoming a leading player in digitisation. 2. By digitising our collection we aim to: 3. User needs. Historic print - Google Search. Hipstamatic for iPhone - Family Album. Digital Agenda: encouraging digitisation of EU culture to help boost growth.

European Commission - Press release Digital Agenda: encouraging digitisation of EU culture to help boost growth Brussels, 28th October 2011 – The European Commission has adopted a Recommendation asking EU Member States to step up their efforts, pool their resources and involve the private sector in digitising cultural material. This is essential to make European cultural heritage more widely available and to boost growth in Europe's creative industries.

The digitised material should be made available through Europeana, Europe's digital library, archive and museum (see www.europeana.eu ). The Recommendation challenges Member States to develop solid plans and build partnerships to place 30 million objects in Europeana by 2015 compared to the 19 million available today; to get more in-copyright and out-of-commerce material online; and to adapt national legislation and strategies to ensure the long-term preservation of digital materials.

Digital Agenda: Recommendation on the digitisation of cultural material and its preservation on line - frequently asked questions

Digitisation is the transformation into digital format of text and photos from paper, films from reels, music from vinyl or videos from tape, so it can be accessed from a computer and consulted online. For text and photos, this involves scanning. Why is digitisation of cultural works important? Thousands of films and other videos are lost every year because the originals simply do not survive the passage of time. Museums and libraries are not able to make ancient and rare manuscripts available or display them to all visitors. Digitisation in the communications sector: a challenge for Europe.
