Playing the piper, calling up the tune
Article Abstract:
An analysis of how the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama is revolutionising the study of traditional music by digitising archive music recordings. Celia Duffy, the academy's head of research and director of the Hotbed (Handing on Tradition by Electronic Dissemination) project acknowledges that the greatest challenge faced is in persuading the academy's students to change their habits and use the digital collection but, she notes, that this is a problem common with the introduction of any computer-assisted learning project.

A site for women of science
Article Abstract:
An online database is due to go live before Christmas 2005 with the intention of raising the profile of female engineers and scientists in the UK. The database, which is being developed by the UK Resource Centre for Women in Science, Engineering and Technology, will help external organisations find women to speak at conferences, take seats on public boards and committees, provide case studies and comment on scientific issues.

Digi-data and all that jazz
Article Abstract:
From summer 2006, information on a vast array of subjects will become available to teachers, researchers and students as a result of the largest ever digitisation programme undertaken by the Joint Information Systems Committee (Jisc). Stuart Dempster is Jisc's digitisation programme manager and he believes that the new resource is not an archive, rather it is a living collection that will increase over time.
