Editor's Notes
- I’m delighted to be back at Gregynog, now in a new role working for Jisc. Jisc is a charity and we offer digital services and solutions for UK education and research. Based in Jisc customer services, I help people make the most of all that Jisc has to offer in two key areas: libraries and digital resources. I’d like to: Give you an idea of how Jisc can support you and work with you Share some thoughts with you on what collaboration means when we’re trying to engage people with digital resources and digital libraries Being in the last slot I’m conscious I am standing between you and your enjoyment of the beautiful surroundings here, before dinner. On the plus side your heads by now are buzzing with inspiration about digital resources and collaboration, so my third aim is to: Capture some of your ideas and questions to take away with me and help me shape what I offer in my new role.
- Vision To make the UK the most digitally advanced education and research nation in the world Mission To enable people in higher education, further education and skills in the UK to perform at the forefront of international practice by exploiting fully the possibilities of modern digital empowerment, content and connectivity I provide subject specialist advice as part of our Advice and Engagement activity. This involves me working closely with our Account Managers (whose role it is to look after our relationship with your university and be the primary point of contact - more about them later) It also involves building relationships with Digital Resources Also R&D in relation to Libraries
- My slides are already available for download on Slideshare I include my Twitter tag and you’re welcome to comment about this session.
- I work with colleagues right across Jisc to help customers find solutions, drawing on all of our services and products that involve digital resources, and all those that benefit libraries and learning resource centres. Working with research excellence, learning and teaching, student experience and institutional management. My support is tailored to customer needs but typically includes: briefings, webinars, participation in specialist forums, training and events, and responding to specialist enquiries My role is very much about engagement. Digital resources and digital libraries are fine things, but they need users and readers for their value to be realised. The challenge is not only to unlock the door but attract them in In the first six months I’ve been fielding a number of queries including: Signposting to Jisc resources and services Managing and promoting digital collections – including when you have little or no library Social media Digital literacy collaboration central for me to do my job promoting the value of digital resources and libraries Here are some conclusions I’ve come to about collaboration when it comes to promoting digital resources

- http://digitisation.jiscinvolve.org/wp/the-uk-medical-heritage-library/ The UK Medical Heritage Library is making the 19th century history of medicine freely available to all. 15 million pages of 19th Century medical texts will be digitised and made available via a number of platforms including the Internet Archive and the Wellcome Digital Library. This is a very broad subject area and includes items about medical sciences, consumer health, sport and fitness, diet and nutrition and historical medical practices such as phrenology and hydrotherapy. Wellcome and 9 partners The project is funded by Jisc and the Wellcome Library. It will significantly extend the digital collections of the US Medical Heritage Library, a consortium of American medical libraries. Visualising Medical History A separate project is currently being commissioned as part of UK-MHL called Visualising Medical History Project which will make the collection available on Jisc Historical Texts where, alongside traditional means, users will be able to use data visualisations to access and interpret the texts.
