SUMMARY:If technology was the answer\, what was the question? Digitisation
  and digital engagement with scientific collections - Catherine Eagleton (
 University of St Andrews)

DESCRIPTION:Digital access to collections is transforming the ways people 
 access and use our galleries\, libraries\, archives and museums. New techn
 ologies and tools are opening up new possibilities for access to scientifi
 c collections by the people for whom we steward them\, but we need to make
  choices about which technologies to use\, and for what purposes.\n\nThis 
 lecture draws on examples from recent research and digital engagement proj
 ects\, and on material in Whipple collections and elsewhere. It will argue
  that we need better to understand who the audiences are for digitised col
 lections\, and what they want to do with them\, if we are to maximise thei
 r potential while avoiding replicating and reinforcing the limitations and
  inequities of the past.
