Survive or Thrive: Making the most of your digital content (JISC Conference 8th & 9th June)

SORT took place over 2 days - presentations all related in some way to the conference background paper which addresses how the LIS community can make the most of the huge amounts of digital content now available on the web. Subjects were very wide ranging but some key ideas I took away were:
  • Reduce redundant effort by using shared services and use savings to fund new services
  • Make your data freely available and reusable - can add value
  • Sharing content can help engage users

Owen Stephens liveblogged the day and has given a much more in depth and accurate write up of the days than I could manage. So rather than repeating what's already been written below are the main points I took from  sessions I attended.
