- how do we get our organisations on board?
- what is the next step after digitisation?
- how do we manage the extra enquiries coming as we have created this new level of access?
- how do we determine the value of what we digitise - how do we choose what to digitise, is anyone interested?
- how to make our collections more accessible?
What are the problems that GLAM organisations are seeking to solve?
- money
- time
- volunteers
- copyright
- privacy - especially for schools
- resourcing
- continuity for the sector
- interoperability across the sector, right down to spelling
- data storage limitations for many - hi-res images take space

How do GLAMs decide what to digitise first?

- what will support an exhibition or major event/anniversary
