Look-here!: digitisation and collaboration in the visual arts

摘要

The Look-Here! project was a collaborative venture that sought to develop skills and strategies for digitisation within libraries, museums and archives in the arts education sector. Led by the Visual Arts Data Service (VADS), with funding from the JISC eContent Programme (2009-11), the project worked with partners in nine specialist arts universities and colleges and art departments in multidisciplinary institutions. Through a series of workshops, case studies and cross-sector activities, the project aimed to share and embed knowledge and expertise in the creation and management of digitised collections in the visual and creative arts. This case study on the project's outputs, outcomes and lessons learnt was published as a chapter within an e-book on the JISC website. The e-book presents case studies from 11 digital projects managing digital resources for higher education.
