Evaluating and Measuring the Value, Use and Impact of Digital Collections by Lorna Hughes

Evaluating and Measuring the Value, Use and Impact of Digital Collections by Lorna Hughes

Brings together a group of international experts to consider the following key issues: What is the role of digital resources in the research life cycle? Do the arts and humanities face a 'data deluge'? How are digital collections to be sustained over the long term? What is the role of digital collections in the 'digital economy'?

"This book is important for all those involved in digitization programmesIts main strength is that it covers libraries, archives and museums to give an overall perspective."

-- Journal of Librarianship and Information Science

"Evaluating value and impact is the Holy Grail for all involved in the provision of information. How do we know that we are making a difference? This book attempts to answer the question in a series of independently written but structured chapters covering the range of issues across the libraries, museums and archives sectors. The chapters form in effect a series of examples of how different institutions and sectors have approached digitisation, attempted to evaluate them and seek to enhance their value."
