KDCS - KCL Digital Consultancy Services

Site en anglais KCL Digital Consultancy Services (KDCS) is a new venture for King's College London and began on 1st September 2003. KDCS provides expertise and consultancy for the creation and management of digital resources. Services are offered to both King’s and to external clients from any sector, although aimed primarily at non-profit cultural organisations. This venture is led by its Director, Simon Tanner, and is based within the Centre for Computing in the Humanities (CCH) at King’s College London. KDCS carries out research and consultancy for cultural organizations within the UK and internationally in the area of digitisation and digital resource management. The Service will work closely with colleagues in CCH and in Information Services and Systems, the School of Humanities and the College more widely, to assess the potential in the College for digitisation projects and to assist research projects that involve the digitisation of source materials. KDCS will also reach out beyond the College to develop joint activities with other institutions. KDCS will carry out consultancy for cultural organizations within the UK and internationally in the area of digitisation and digital resource management. Simon Tanner explains: “I hope that KDCS will be of great benefit to the research agenda here at King’s, whilst also reaching out to other organizations, to help enable digital resources of cultural and heritage importance to flourish.” Situated in the Centre for Computing in the Humanities (CCH) the KDCS is another in a long line of developments in Digital Culture within the college, coming hot on the heels of the start of a new MA in Digital Culture and Technology.
