Identification of Research Level Collections at Napier University: Pilot Study
A deliverable of the Scone project is to identify research level collections in the 'New Universities' and to extend the Research Collections Online database to include them. Napier University kindly agreed to carry out an assessment exercise to identify its research level collections as a pilot for this initiative. Graeme Forbes, who is Head of Resource Management and Development at Napier, has produced a report detailing their experience of the exercise. The report is in Adobe Portable Document Format. To view it you will require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.
