Organisation	Objective(s)	Project contribution
1 RSLP (funding body)	The Research Libraries Support Programme is committed to promoting the growth of the Archives Higher Education Hub (hosted by MIMAS in Manchester) as a centre holding collection level descriptions	All MOI collection-level descriptions will be copied to the Hub
2 Partners	Most partners expect to benefit from the conversion of existing manual finding aids to digital formats as part of the general process of automating finding aids/catalogues	Directly funded partners receive money to pay for additional cataloguing staff. Other partners will receive the results of work done by the UWS team
	Reduction of backlog of uncatalogued material	It is unlikely that much will be possible beyond the ‘mapping’ (outline description) of collections without any existing finding aid
Partners and users	Improvement of access to information about holdings	All published results will be available over the internet. Users will benefit from single initial access point for this topic. Institutions should see more exploitation of this material.
	Commitment to supporting projects that improve on-line access to catalogues/finding aids as part of leadership role	PRO and NLW (with HMC ANW pilot) will contribute useful records paid for by other funding
3 The MOI Project	The goal of the project is to deliver a comprehensive resource discovery tool to the best standard practicable with the resources available	This requires productivity in creating the finding aids and efficiency in delivering the results
4 LIS	Development of technologies for improving access to new media	Evaluation of Encompass and other solutions
