A Guide to Good Practice in Collaborative Working Methods and New Media Tools Creation
Preface
Catherine Owen, AHDS Performing Arts
This Guide offers new perspectives on the role of new technologies in creative and collaborative practice in performance and is one of a series of titles commissioned and edited by AHDS Performing Arts at the University of Glasgow.
AHDS Performing Arts is part of the Arts and Humanities Data Service, funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee for UK Higher Education and the Arts and Humanities Research Board to collect, manage, preserve and promote the re-use of electronic data resources for humanities scholars.
As well as a maintaining a national repository of datasets of value to the performing arts community, AHDS Performing Arts offers advice and support to data creators in all aspects of best practice with the aim of ensuring that data is as useful as possible for as long as possible.
I hope that the varied and stimulating contributions to this new Guide to Good Practice offer some useful perspectives on technology development in performance studies.
