 K ete: Who is it for?
If you have a community of people that can help you build and maintain a collection of digital materials (documents, photographs, movies), Kete is for you. Libraries- You have the technical infrastructure, the computer literate staff and connections with community organisations & individuals who hold the history and culture of your city in their hands and heads.
- Who better to spearhead a digital library, to provide space for training, and a place for people to gather to work on their Kete - their stories, than the library.
Museums- Kete lets you get your holdings on-line and to gather more information about those holdings than is typically possible in traditional cataloguing software.
- Holdings can become accesable to other museums and researchers around the world using Kete's built in, standards compliant sharing technology.
Historical Societies- Kete was built with Historical Societies and Community Groups in mind.
- You can be as formal or informal as you need with Kete categories and fields.
- You don't have to buy in to the mindset of traditional libraries and museums, you can develop your Kete organically with the resources and volunteers you have.
Iwi & Marae- Organise the photographs and other taonga that you've become kaitiaki to, giving your whanau access digitally wherever they are in the world, but keeping the objects themselves safe.
Schools & Training Institutions- Kete lets you provide space for your students to save documents, audio and video
- Students can choose to share or keep their work private.
- Students can enable their parents to see their great work.
- The private/public functionality can be extended to provide a centralised record of student notes, and allow for easy alumni administration.
Private organisations and Institutions- If you need a digital library, but also want discussion about the documents it holds, Kete is for you.
- Kete allows you gradually add new areas for discussion so that you can see what works for your organisation and build from there.
