Description:

As institutions collect and provide access to increasing amounts of digital data, they also may look to improve access to existing collections in a variety of formats. This course taught in three two-hour sessions over the course of three days will discuss how to coherently create, integrate and sustain new digital resources and programs, such as imaging projects, within existing resources and programs. Digital Library Program Development identifies the knowledge necessary to begin developing local digital resources in a responsible, sustainable and systematic manner.

Topics to be addressed within the context of building the program necessary for creating and providing access to digital information include:

• Program planning and development
• Standards
• Workflow analysis
• Lifecycle management
• Assessing and supporting user needs
• Collaboration in production and access
• Evaluating and managing technology in support of the program and patrons
• Establishing policies and standard procedures
• Integrating program activities with other related library activities

Intended Audience:

Staff responsible for the development, management and administration of new digital library programs.
