This paper will consider the opportunities and impacts that digitized resources have made for learning, teaching, research and society. The focus for this paper comes from the significant impact and value in the United Kingdom discovered during the JISC funded research project: Inspiring Research, Inspiring Scholarship. [1] It will conclude with the suggestion that the impacts of digitized resources are being negated by the very modes of measurement and evaluation currently in place and will posit fresh areas for investigation.
