Scotland�s collections enjoy a broad appeal and are of interest to people overseas as well as those living and working locally. Accordingly the sector is turning to electronic means to communicate with a virtual audience, digitising collections and sharing associated information through websites.
A National ICT Strategy for Scotland�s Museums recognises that Information and Communications Technology (ICT) can play a major part in helping to enhance and broaden the crucial roles that museums and collections play in Scotland. One of the projects carried out under auspices of the Strategy resulted in Museums, Galleries and Digitisation - a report looking into the impact that online digitisation projects have had on target users. It also contains practical guidelines for museums on how to ensure that digitisation projects have maximum impact in the future.
