Assignment 2
Case Study

A University Library holds a collection of approximately 3,000 important historical photographs and documents related to Multiculturalism in Australia. The photographs are in many different formats including paper and various sizes of negatives. The library would like to give researchers, community groups, students and the general public access to these resources but they are too fragile and historically significant to be handled, therefore they would like them to be digitized and then made available online.
The items need to be easily searchable and of sufficiently high resolution for details to be viewed.
They need to be accessible through mobile technologies in a user-friendly manner. The University also wants a way to protect the copyright of the images.
The University has requested that your consulting company complete a full project plan for approval before commencing the project. You have been appointed as the Project Manager.

Project risk management
Project quality planning & management
Microsoft Project file(s) submission

As the project manager you may make any assumptions you think are necessary.

As you prepare your report, please don't forget to format it so that it is easy to read and conforms to the standard report format.

Answer the following questions to interpret the Turnitin originality report. The questions can be found through the following link: http://www.academicinternational.org/teaching/turnitin.pdf Submit your answers via Turnitin.
Turnitin is more than a ‘gotcha’ device – it is an effective learning tool:
Because the sophisticated use of sources involves a complex set of research, critical thinking, and writing skills, you should expect to take several years to master them. Turnitin can be a helpful tool in this developmental process. You should use your originality reports as feedback on a first draft so that you can improve your use of sources before submitting the final draft for marking.
Interpreting the Turnitin Originality Report:
After you submit your draft to Turnitin for self-checking, you should look carefully at the originality report so that you can improve on your use of sources. Your essay will be on the left side of the screen, and the matching colour-coded sources will be listed on the right. Then you can make the necessary changes to your essay before you submit the final draft for marking.
