Stepping Away from the Silos: Strategic Collaboration in Digitisation

Stepping Away from the Silos: Strategic Collaboration in Digitisation examines the current environment for the creation of publicly funded digital content and the longstanding issues affecting strategic collaboration in two major aspects of this field, the selection of content for digitization and its effective dissemination. The book focuses on publicly funded digital content developed over the last 15-20 years, specifically concentrating on the extensive range of outputs which fall outside the categories of commercial publications, research publications, and research data. In addition, the book examines the extent to which good practice and standards for collaboration have already emerged from the 1990s and onward. It identifies political, financial, and cultural issues that currently restrict full strategic collaboration and consequently undermine effective provision of relevant and accessible digital content. Final sections outline the prospects for UK Higher Education to achieve more effective strategic collaboration in the short and long term, both within and beyond sector.
