Planning and managing a self-contained digitization project is one
thing, but how do you transition to a digital library program? Or
better yet, how do you start a program from scratch? In this book
Purcell, a well-respected expert in both archives and digital
libraries, combines theory and best practices with practical
application, showing how to approach digital projects as an ongoing
effort. He not only guides librarians and archivists in
transitioning from project-level initiatives to a sustainable
program but also provides clear step-by-step instructions for
building a digital library program from the bottom up, even for
organizations with limited staff. Approachable and easy to follow,
this book traces the historical growth of digital libraries and the
importance of those digital foundations; summarizes current
technological challenges that affect the planning of digital
libraries, and how librarians and archivists are adapting to the
changing information landscape;uses examples to lay out the core
priorities of leading successful digital programs; covers the
essentials of getting started, from vision and mission building to
identifying resources and partnerships; emphasizes the importance
of digitizing original unique materials found in library and
archives collections, and suggests approaches to the selection
process; addresses metadata and key technical standards; discusses
management and daily operations, including assessment, enhancement,
sustainability, and long-term preservation planning; provides
guidance for marketing, promotion, and outreach, plus how to take
into account such considerations as access points, intended
audiences, and educational and instructional components;
andincludes exercises designed to help readers define their own
digital projects and create a real-world digital program plan .
Equally valuable for LIS students just learning about the digital
landscape, information professionals taking their first steps to
create digital content, and organizations who already have
well-established digital credentials, Purcell's book outlines
methods applicable and scalable to many different types and sizes
of libraries and archives.
