  2. Collections Trust Our aim is to help people define and achieve excellence in providing collection-based services to their users People use our standards and guidance to reduce their expenditure, maintain accountability, mitigate risk, train staff and manage programmes Collections have to be part of the answer – as a community, we have to show how what we do delivers value in a way that users understand and want it We are all about supporting change and innovation – every new vision of what we can do starts with Collections Management

  13. The challenge We need Collections Management Systems to work harder to support the increasingly diverse needs of the museum Maximising the use of your online collections means delivering them on your site and serving them up for use via multiple channels/API The purpose of Europeana Inside is to build into your CMS the tools to manage how your collections are shared, with whom and under what conditions Putting the control of re-use in your hands

  14. Museum Museum Europeana Connection Kits Library Collections Management System Library Archive Digital Asset Management System Archive AV Archive Enriched metadata Content providers Technical partners Aggregators

  15. The benefits Connecting Collections Management and Collections publishing workflows Europeana, Wikipedia, BBC Digital Public Space, Google History Maximising the exposure of your online collections Limiting the risk through granular rights/permissions management Cleaning up your metadata for re-use Providing a channel for user-enhanced metadata to flow back to you Opening up opportunities for income generation

  16. The next challenge Once we have opened up Collections metadata for re-use through multiple channels, we need a way of tracking metrics & impact This is outside the scope of Europeana Inside, but will form the basis of a future project proposal Part of a broader discussion about metrics & KPI for online collections – moving from quantity to reach and engagement

  17. European Funding European funding presents a huge opportunity for UK museums wanting to make more active use of their Collections As long as you aren’t the coordinator, participating in European-funded projects is simple Participating opens up new networks & partnerships The European Commission is currently evaluating the possibility of diverting €m into enabling Digitisation in European museums We need to increase participation in EU funding by UK institutions
