Subject: [MCG] New Jisc guide to making your digital resources easier to
discover
To: MCG(a)jiscmail.ac.uk
Dear all,
Back in February I mentioned on the list that I was working with others on
a Jisc guide to making digital resources easier to discover. This guide,
along with other outputs from the Jisc "Spotlight on the Digital" project
has now been published.
For an overview of all the work from the project this blog post from David
Prosser (Director of Research Libraries UK) gives a good overview
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/blog/action-on-discoverability-03-jun-2014
Paola Marchionni has also posted a link to all the Spotlight on the Digital
recommendations and output at
http://digitisation.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2014/06/03/spotlight-on-the-digital-…
The guide itself is available at
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/guides/make-your-digital-resources-easier-to-discover
The guide covers a wide range of approaches to making digital resources
easier to discovery. Each approach is linked back to research on how users
search and discover digital resources (summarised at
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/guides/how-do-users-find-your-content), as well as
linking to organisation strategic aims as identified by university
libraries (some of which maybe shared by museums, but clearly there are
some differences here).
I hope the guide is of interest and useful, and I'd be very interested to
hear what people think.
Thanks
Owen
