Anne Jackman & Anna Blackman
• Puke Ariki – has some parallels with Hocken – both institutions have a variety of format, media and audiences
• books, paintings, photographs, audio-visual, analogue and digital
• students, public, local community, academics, tourists
• grappling with a legacy of analogue backlogs – like Hocken
• useful institution for Hocken to develop relationships with??

War Art Online – Archives NZ
• war is a popular topic! • allows users to add comments about items
on the site• issues with user added content – it takes
staff time to moderate the comments added to the site
• a lot of comments are relevant to war in general but don’t add that much to the specific items
Anne Jackman & Anna Blackman
Lessons
• involve your community
• collaborate for resources
• identify resources for digitisation
• prioritise, can’t do it all!
Anne Jackman & Anna Blackman
What do users want?
• Mark Crookston – research on use of digital heritage resources in tertiary education
• starting point for us to develop discussions with Otago academics as to what resources they would like available
Anne Jackman & Anna Blackman
Thoughts
• what to digitise?• allow user added content or not? Web 2.0?• what are our expectations of digital collections?• what are our user’s expectations?• do Hocken users have different expectations
from other Library users?• role of digital resources in marketing Hocken?• resources, resources, resources!
