Sesion lead

Rossitza Atanassova (The British Library)

Description

The British Library has a large digitisation portfolio and currently there are about 25 initiatives at the British Library which vary in terms of scale, funding models and process. Digitisation is delivered both internally and through partnerships and the Library has been investing in infrastructure and business process developments. The presentation will explain the processes in place for planning and delivery of internal digitisation projects, including standards and technical developments to support ingest and access to digitised content via the Universal Viewer. It will also highlight some of the digitisation partnerships with culture heritage institutions and commercial companies.
