Top tips from library projects – IT
Corporate IT - Enthusiastic IT v unenthusiastic IT. Digital storage. Can volunteers use corporate networks and
computers? Advantages using outside IT systems &
companies. Free v paid for systems – or both? Be very clear on an IT spec from the outset. Test your product – watch users accessing your
project – it can be cheap to make tweaks which make an amazing difference.

Top tips from library projects – Copyright
New rules on conservation digitisation.
I am a librarian/archivist/curator, what am I allowed to do now? You can copy works for archiving and preservation reasons if they are part of a
permanent collection and it is not reasonably practicable to purchase a replacement.
What types of work can I copy for preservation? You will now be able to preserve films, broadcasts, sound recordings and artistic works
(including photographs), as well as literary, dramatic and musical works.
How many copies can I make? The work can be copied as many times as necessary for the work to be preserved.
Can I copy (for archiving / preservation purposes) any work held by the library/archive/museum/gallery?
No. This exception will only apply to material held in the permanent collection of an institution that is not available for loan to the public

Top tips from library projects – Practicalities
Make sure that physical items are put back properly.
Each item numbered on item and catalogue record.
Each time a photo is scanned it risks the stability of the chemicals on the photograph – get it right first time.

Top tips from library projects – Volunteers
“Good - The luck of having an amazing volunteer”. Monitor and enforce cataloguing guidelines and house
style. How much detail should be captured? Subject terms – can use a few but not a thesaurus. “I would also ensure that where volunteers are
organising exhibitions, they have a group leader to coordinate delivery.”
Love your volunteers….. “volunteers – they were brilliant. I think the team worked really well because we involved them in all aspects of the project and showed that we valued their feedback.”
Volunteers as ambassadors… “sense of ownership and pride in the project.”

Top tips from library projects – stakeholders
Our communications strategy – press, Facebook, Twitter, mail shots, promotion via stakeholder meetings, websites and newsletters, sent material to tourist attractions, churches, resident groups, schools and supermarkets – they then did a lot of word of mouth publicity for us.
Working with stakeholders – we had support and consultation rather than a formal partnership but they all said that the project had brought them closer together and helped them to consider other ways of working together. All the organisations involved said that they would be happy to work with us again. We have now agreed to have an annual Discovery Day as our project Days went so well.
The relationship we built with the schools also worked really well – teachers appreciated that we asked them what they wanted, rather than just giving them what we thought they wanted. We deliberately avoided having lots of meetings, as they are already overloaded and asked them in when we had draft materials available. We sought their feedback at all stages and they could also see that we had acted on their suggestions / recommendations – this meant that they got tailor made resources that really matched their needs.

Conclusion
Be clear on what you want to achieve with your project.
Don’t just focus on digitisation projects.
IT challenges. New digitisation for conservation
