Pre-Raphaelite Collection
BMAG has the largest public collection of Pre-Raphaelite art in the world - but the vast majority was only previously available via appointment in the Print Room. Had to know what we had and exactly what you wanted to see before a visit.
BMAG funded £166,963 to produce Pre-Raphaelite Online Resource for use by FE & HE.

Embracing the Web
Lecturers and students are using the web to support research, course work, etc. "History of Art and the internet have a very strong relationship now -it gives you access to any gallery in the world."Undergraduate
Hostility from some lecturers to reliance on the web. Concerns about poor research skills & quality of information.

Demand for Quality"If it's meant for the general public it's probably not academic enough for us."Undergraduate
Trustworthy
Scholarly
Reliable
High Quality

Time Poor
Huge passion and enthusiasm - but tempered by time. Need to be focused. Resource hungry students seek quick access to content. Not about taking a 'leisurely' look at websites, but finding what they want quickly and easily.

CompetitiveCompetitive environment.
Status conscience.
Reservations about giving away intellectual property.
Fear of 'getting it wrong'.
HE students typically work individually not collaboratively.
FE students more open to sharing & working together.

Wiki Rage
“When you first arrive, the tutors say to you, ‘if you use Wikipedia… sod off’. If you’re going to use Wikipedia you might as well not be here. It’s a load of rubbish… Wikipedia is sin.”Undergraduate
"Wikipedia is a lazy person's route to knowledge."Lecturer

The DilemmaWeb 2.0 features not embraced by HE.
FE students & lecturers saw potential to work together.
Risk of making a site off putting if we allowed people to make comments, discuss on forums, add content, etc.
But signs of change - especially in FE. Risk of creating an out of date site.
