Identifying quality acquisitions from a data deluge
Zoe Bliss · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2005
This paper will discuss the current acquisitions strategy of AHDS History, one of the five centres of the Arts and Humanities Data Service (AHDS), and outline how it currently identifies, evaluates and accessions data into its collection. In particular it will describe the means employed by AHDS History in conjunction with the AHRB, to ensure that historical digital data created as a result of AHRB funding is offered for deposit with the AHDS. The paper will also discuss the competing influence of funding bodies, creators and users on a robust acquisitions policy.
