Putting your Collections online
• Having things online does not automatically lead to access
• It is a significant investment of time and effort
• It is important to be clear about why you want to do it and what you want people to be able to do with them
• Think big, but start small!

Without some kind of structure for metrics and evaluation in place, it can be very hard to see when you’re making progress.

Planning for digital sustainability
• Failing to plan = planning to fail!
• Digital is not a separate project
• Always think ‘what would I do if this were made of wood’
• Use industry standards
• Don’t be an amateur developer!
