DigiIslam > Introduction |
|
Outline Project DescriptionThe aim of this project is to evaluate the existing provision of digitised materials in Islamic Studies, to identify further resources whose digitisation would be of benefit to UK Higher Education, and to propose criteria for the digitisation of identified materials by reviewing the actual user requirements rather than theoretical ones. Existing digitised resources both for teaching and research will be evaluated by an experienced team based at the University of Exeter, comprising academics, librarians and digital assets managers. The methodology for identifying new resources will include surveys both of relevant academic staff and of the guardians of cultural heritage collections, the setting up of focus groups in particular areas of Islamic Studies, and the interviewing of senior academics who teach and research in Islamic Studies. This review will propose a digitisation framework for Islamic Studies collections to establish the basis for a collaborative collection management policy of the digitised collections.
