For over twenty years, digitisation has been a core element of the
modern information landscape. The digital lifecycle is now well
defined, and standards and good practice have been developed for
most of its key stages. There remains, however, a widespread lack
of coordination of digitisation initiatives, both within and across
different sectors, and there are disparate approaches to selection
criteria. The result is 'silos' of digitised content. Stepping away
from the Silos examines the strategic context in the UK since the
1990s and its effect on collaboration and coordination of exemplar
digitisation initiatives in higher education and related sectors.
It identifies the principal criteria for content selection that are
common to the international literature in this field. The outputs
of the exemplar projects are examined in relation to these
criteria. A range of common practices and patterns in content
selection appears to have developed over time, forming a de facto
strategy from which several areas of critical mass have emerged.
The book discusses the potential to improve strategic collaboration
and coordinated selection by building on such a platform, and
considers planning options in the context of work on national
digitisation strategies in the UK and internationally.
