Putting the Digital Puzzle Together:
Creating a Digital Project

Friday, June 25th (8:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.)

Presented by the Networked Resources and Metadata Committee


Libraries are increasingly developing digital projects on their own or
in collaboration with other information-bearing institutions. Librarians
responsible for developing and implementing digital projects need to
understand the thorny issues involved in implementing virtual
collections. This program will present speakers who are seasoned
specialists who can describe the choices in metadata standards used to
provide access and description to digital objects, the process of
implementing digital projects, and how to receive funding for their
project.

Participants will know more about the choices of metadata standards and
their integration with traditional library cataloging and other
standards
Participants will receive guidance on how to write a successful grant

Participants will have a better understanding of the issues involved in
planning and implementing a digital project.

Target Audience

Librarians involved in the steps of developing and implementing digital
projects, including librarians in Cataloging, Collection Development,
Special Collections and Archives, Reference Librarians, Preservation
Officers, Systems Administration, and Technical Services.
