Digital Strategy

Because I have only been working as a librarian for 13 months I'm not sure which changes have been made as a direct result of the strategy. However I am aware of some relatively recent changes that are linked to the aims of the Digital Strategy.
Connection - About two years ago when the library was being remodelled an Information Centre was added. This contains 12 computers with broadband Internet access that anyone is free to use (although we do charge for their use). There is a Learning Centre tutor who is available to help people on a one-to-one basis and she also runs free courses. The learning Centre also offers free computer/Internet use for student doing homework.
Content - The library's collection of photos are slowly being digitised so they can be searched more easily and made available over the Internet. We are also collecting people's memories to make them available from our website.
