This book provides practical guidance for delivering and
sustaining value and impact from digital content.
Our digital presence
has the power to change lives and life opportunities. We must understand
digital values to consider how organizational presence within digital cultures
can create change. Impact assessment is the tool to foster understanding of how
strategic decisions about digital resources may be fostering change within our
communities. Delivering Impact with Digital Resources focuses on
introducing both a mechanism and a way to thinking about strategies and
evidence of benefits that extend to impact. Such that, the existence of a
digital resource shows measurable outcomes that demonstrate a change in the
life or life opportunities of the community. The book proposes an updated
Balanced Value Impact Model (BVIM) to enable each memory organization to
convincingly argue they are an efficient and effective operation, working in
innovative modes with digital resources for the positive social and economic
benefit of their communities.<o:p>
