Description
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.
*Critical Learning Questions*
* What are the project management principles that will help to reduce risks?
* What is the role of stakeholder analysis?
* How can building basic business planning skills help in digital
library programs?
* What are the "commonly made mistakes" and how would one avoid such traps?
* What are the most commonly made mistakes in developing and managing
digitization initiatives?
* What can we learn from success stories?
Meal
Light snacks will be provided
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.
