Digital Library Center: Project Planning Resources for Library Faculty and Staff
A number of variables impact the actual time it takes to complete a project; "on average:
- One third of the effort will be project planning, preservation preparation, management, and
oversight - One third of the effort will be archival description and indexing
- One third of the effort will be the actual digitization"
(Federal Agencies Digitization Guidelines Initiative, Project Planning and Management)
Resources for developing projects and project requirements:
- Digital Collection Approval and Processing Workflow (draft)
- New digital collection proposal template
- Factors for new projects:
- Cataloging Services, from the Cataloging and Metadata Department (workflows)
- Requirements for digitization
- "Recommendations" on pages 33-35 from the Special Collections in ARL Libraries Working Group Report in 2009 explain many of the options for processing collections that may or may not include digitization.
- Budgeting concerns (draft)
- External: Information for potential partners
