Introduction

In order to populate the digital research repository with print research material one has to digitise the print material first.

The question therefore is how to proceed with the digitisation process in an orderly managed manner?

Digitisation process

Step 1

Determine the scope of the project by asking the following questions:

  1. What will be digitised?
  2. Who will perform the actual digitisation?
  3. How long will the digitisation take?
  4. What standards will be applied to the resultant digital objects.
  5. And finally, what will it cost to digitise the identified items, in the appropriate time at the appropriate standard?

Step 2

From the scope defined above, determine if there is capacity to store and manage the resultant digital objects in the long term by asking the following questions:
