The stunning new home of The Library of Birmingham proved to be a fitting backdrop for The National Archives (TNA) and Research Libraries UKs (RLUK) second collaborative conference "Discovering Collections, Discovering Communities" on October 29th - 30th 2014. This years widened its scope to welcome representatives from the heritage and cultural sectors. More than 270 delegates from over 160 organisations across the UK and overseas discussed the benefits and challenges of cross-sector collaborations and the opportunities of digitality for the sake of broadening collections access for academia and the wider public alike.

Users come to Tates website with different motivations, knowledges of art, and have different preferences for browsing information online. At Tate, we have undertaken research to understand, analyse and map these users needs and expectations. We have then used this analysis to consider how we can develop more effective ways for users to find and consume our content about art, as well as enabling them to create their own experiences and meanings.
