After her presentation, Annie Shaw, from the BFI, gave a demonstration of
how the diligent search tool works. A way to get how easy it is to contribute to the EnDOW Community. To become a volunteer there is no minimum commitment, because everyone can help for as much time as they have, from 5 minutes to five days or months. Again, volunteers are allowed to make mistakes, because at the end of their search there will be a check run by the experts at Bfi and it will be possible to amend flaws. Finally, who chooses to be part of this challenging project will not be left alone. As Marcella Favale, senior researcher at Bournemouth University, has explained, in fact, on our website there are lots of facilities to help out in the process:
video tutorials,
diligent search manual and a dedicated
discussion forum.
Together the volunteers will be stronger and more efficient: a coral effort to boost culture and access to film heritage!
