Putting the Digital Puzzle Together:
Creating a Digital Project
Friday, June 25th (8:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.)
American Library Association Annual Meeting, Orlando Florida
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.
