The Impact and Embedding of an Established Resource: British History Online as a Case Study

Abstract

A Rapid Impact Analysis of British History Online, the digital library for British history from the IHR. It investigates the ways in which users engage with the resource and suggests, after consultation with users, a suite of tools and features that will be developed in order further to meet the needs of students and teachers. The study utilised the Toolkit for the Impact of Digital Scholarly Resources (TIDSR), developed for the JISC. The investigation carried out as part of a JISC-funded project, part of the Impact and Embedding of Digital Resources strand of the Digitisation and e-Content Programme. The project ran from October 2010 to March 2011
