Approach to digitised material

What we do now? What we might want to do in the "digitisation on acquisition" future?

What we do now

Each physical item will have it's own record. E.g. if you have 3 cassettes, there will be 3 item records.

On digitisation, a secondary record will be created for the digital version, the digital version becomes the access copy. The physical record will reflect that there is a digital version.

Currently we are not disposing of physical items.

Digitisation on Acquisition - FINAL DETAILS YET TO BE CONFIRMED - BELOW IS SPECULATION

We will be moving to 'digitisation on acquisition' - items will be digitised as soon as they can when onsite.

Physcial items will be disposed of but we still need to record the properties on the digital record.
