What did GLAM participants want to get out of the workshop?

  • how to do this properly
  • how do we find out what each other has?
  • how do we match technology to available resources with workflows?
  • how to make the digitised collection accessible?
  • how do we make best use of social media, and make it easy for people to use the organisation's own image database in social media
  • what are we aiming for as best practice?
  • 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
  • digitisation is a buzz word in organisations, but do they really know what it means/entails?

How do GLAMs decide what to digitise first?

  • what a formal significance assessment has identified as priority
  • what people are asking for
  • what is at risk of deterioration
  • what someone will fund
  • what will support an exhibition or major event/anniversary
