Managing expectations:Looking for very specific things digitally
•Only a small amount of content is digitised!
•Might not be the treasure you expect at the end of a digital journey!
•Starts with a conversation!•Research interests?
•What digital collections are you interested in?

Training / Teaming up with Expert?• Many researchers have the domain knowledge but lack the technical skills to use Digital Research Methods
• Should our support be more focused on training?
• There are plenty of computational experts looking for problems to solve
• Should they be teamed up with those that have problems that need solving

Finding Open Digital Collections• Copyright cleared for research use
• Curated (Is there someone who knows the ‘story’ about the collection?)
• Collection / Item Level Metadata available? (What state is and does it need cleaning?)

Lessons…•Huge appetite to use BL digital content & data (e.g. Flickr Commons stats).
•Identifying / bridging gaps for researchers to use BL data.
•Labs can help researchers navigate through the Library to get the data they want.

Perfection vs Imperfection
•If we focus too much on perfection we will never get anything done!
•Fear of failure seen as a negative thing.
•Just don’t be scared to try experiments!
