[Digihubsadmin] some possibilities(?)

[Lodge, Missy]

I personally think it would be well worth all of our time to pursue this opportunity.  Many years ago (and Kim Fender  may be the only one who remembers this) there was a core group who talked about going for a NLG Digitization Grant.  Unfortunately, the State Library is very limited on the amount of match that we can provide but I (as well as several of us here) are used to being 5% on paper and 50% in real-time!  Katy Klettlinger, the new LPD consultant has extensive digitization experience and would have some great ideas and concepts if we move forward.

Subject: [Digihubsadmin] some possibilities(?)

Yesterday, the IMLS released a Notice of Funding Opportunity for their FY2015 National Leadership Grants for Libraries, http://www.imls.gov/notice_of_funding_opportunity_fy2015_national_leadership_grants_for_libraries.aspx

>From the notes of the IMLS "National digital platform" meeting (http://www.imls.gov/assets/1/AssetManager/IMLSFocusNotes_NYC.pdf), I suspect that some of these grants will go toward expanding the DPLA hubs. Are there costs involved for the Digitization Hubs that might be covered by one of these grants?

I also had a meeting yesterday with Jeff Fruit and Nancy Lensenmayer from the KSU SLIS during which we talked a bit about the Digitization Hubs. I noted that this project does not really address digital preservation, but I have sensed some interest in more formally pursuing preservation; they were interested in a possible partnership if that happens, perhaps even within the context of a grant. (If I'm interpreting my notes from the 7/22 OhioDIG meeting correctly, Meghan Frazer from OhioLINK also mentioned digital preservation as one of their interests.)

I'll be the first to admit that almost all of this stuff is over my head, but I wanted to share these possibilities, for what they might be worth.
