The second part of the seminar will focus on development of best 
practices and guidelines to help workshop participants in overseeing 
effective and efficient projects. Setting realistic goals, assessing and 
understanding the resources requirements, stakeholder analysis, and 
benchmarking for different phases of the project will be examined with 
examples. Also included in the second part will be business planning 
including service model development, fiscal management, communication 
plan, assessment and evaluation.

* How can building basic business planning skills help in digital 
library programs?

      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.
