      Description

The first part of the seminar will cover the stages in planning, 
developing, and managing digital collections with examples from 
different implementations. Within this framework, the presentation will 
cover selection, copyright, digitization, metadata creation, system and 
interface building, and archiving stages. Workshop participants will be 
offered practical strategies that represent current and emerging 
standards, best practices, and sound decision making. Case studies from 
Cornell University Library will be used to describe the various 
approaches and strategies. Both success and failure stories will be used 
to illustrate the importance of strategic planning.

*Critical Learning Questions*

* What is involved in planning digitization projects?
* What are the weakest points in the chain?
* How would one plan a new digitization program to his/her institution?
* What kind of skills and resources are required for success?

      Audience

This presentation is designed for librarians, digitization operation 
managers, and information professionals who are interested in sharpening 
their skills in planning, managing, and assessing digitization projects. 
Although technical background in digital library development will be 
useful, the workshop will take a managerial approach and will not assume 
any hands-on experience with technologies. However, familiarity with 
digitization initiatives will provide good background for this presentation.
