Overview
This Digital Libraries module at Robert Gordon University examines and evaluates both the cultural and technical elements which contribute to these services.
Features
The module encourages students to evaluate critically the strategic application of a range of digital library initiatives as well as to develop and evaluate strategies for the planning and implementation of a digital library service.
It examines how we identify and critically appraise user requirements for building and engaging diverse communities using digital library technologies.
The module focuses on the application of current technologies for the dissemination of information or information services in response to user requirements, and we also consider how to determine and implement methods of evaluation for digital library services.
Programme Structure
What you will learn:
- The module covers a wide variety of different topics including the development of digital libraries from early stages of ‘library automation’ to the present day.
- Considerable focus is placed, throughout the topics, on profiling users and user communities and understanding their needs in respect of digital services, including the building and managing of effective online communities.
- The taught content also focuses on the strategies and platforms which can be used to provide digital services, how services monitor and understand performance (and particularly measure impact) and also addresses key legal and ethical issues around privacy, security, copyright, confidentiality and data protection.
