Digitisation, Intralibrary and Copyright Scott McGowan
Using The Repository - CLA Developing ways to catalogue the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) scanned material on the repository. Working within the CLA licence limitations. Digitisation officer saves the CLA material to the repository and makes the web link available to the academic. 86 WebCT courses are currently using (as of Feb 2008) approx. 325 documents stored on the Intralibrary repository. Robust storage and retrieval solution.
Using The Repository - CLA CLA workflow developed. Collection has to be “secure” – providing URLs to lecturers is presently what’s allowed under the licence. Metadata is currently added using “standard” Intralibrary LOM “title” and “description” field. New version of Intralibrary will provide more “CLA specific” metadata field “tags”. Reporting functions will be tested.
Other Project Work Engaging with the academic community, encouraging use/training. Promoting creation and use of digital learning objects. Creating workflows on Intralibrary tailored to different user groups. Helping “early adopters” add content and metadata. Assess quality of metadata added by Keele’s “early adopters”.

Latest Areas Of Focus New release of Intralibrary Feb ’08. Testing of new release for recording and reporting functions for CLA material. Bulk uploading of resources. Ongoing testing of repository searching functions. Need for more digital content from academics. Developing more “academic”-friendly, less data intensive workflows, and devising an abridged contributor “training manual”. Making a case for continued funding.
