DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis report looks at the developing digital library practices of leading universities and cultural institutions including Cornell University, Oregon State University, the University of Chicago and the Museum of Natural History, among others. In detailed profiles based on lengthy interviews with directors of digital resources and other individuals with authority over major digitization efforts, the study details developments in content management, marketing, metadata development, collaborations, revenue generation, copyright clearance, use of social media, grants and fundraising, program assessment and metrics, equipment use and acquisition, staff development, preservation, donor management and other areas of interest to digitizers of content in libraries, higher education, government and museums. The study looks closely at the emergence of the academic library as a publisher and generator of digital content, not just as a custodian or receptacle. Increasingly, digitizers of content have entered the scholarly and educational mainstream and have propelled their content into prominent positions in their institutions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn April 2000, the Digital Library Federation commissioned three reports to address broader concerns about digital collections in research libraries. This report synthesizes the nearly 10 years' experience that libraries have had digitizing items from their rare, special, and general collections, and making them available online. The report demonstrates that digitization programs work best where their role within a library's collection development strategy is clearly understood, and identifies several roles that such programs can play. The author muses about the extent to which digitally reformatted special and rare collections can actually support scholarly research, and looks at whether leading research libraries in particular might more usefully focus on digitizing general as opposed to special and rare collections. The report opens with points to consider in developing a sustainable strategy. The second section addresses identification, evaluation and selection, discussing polices, guidelines and best practices, and rationales for digitization. The third section focuses on institutional impacts and discusses treatment and disposition of source materials, scalability, intellectual control and data management, coordinated collection development, funding, preservation, and support of users. A final section addresses challenges in evaluating costs and benefits, and offers recommendations. (Contains 47 references.) (AEF)
