Debate: Is Digitisation Dead?

In our last edition we published a contentious paper by Dr Jim Storr entitled ‘The Failure of Digitial CIS’, and this was accompanied by papers from five experts commenting on and extending Storr’s arguments. Since these papers were published, two more experts have given us their views – one rejecting Storr’s arguments that there has been human failure within the digitisation programme, and the other extending the debate on the human aspects.
