Abhatoo - Centre Nationale de Documentation

The JISC Digitisation Conference was held at the St David’s Hotel and

Conference Centre in Cardiff on 20/21 July 2007. It gathered together some of

the leading digitisation projects, funding-bodies, publishers, archives, libraries

and many of the key thinkers in the area. There was an international delegate

list, drawing in representatives from the UK, France, Germany, Italy, the USA,

Canada and elsewhere.

The aim was to discuss the key issues affecting those engaged in digitisation

and draw conclusions about how best to take these issues forward. Numerous

topics were proposed, debated and argued over through the course of the

two days; below are the five issues that most regularly surfaced during the

conference.
