****DIGITAL LIBRARY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT****

As institutions collect and provide access to increasing amounts of
digital data, they also may look to improve access to existing
collections in a variety of formats. This one-day class will discuss how
to coherently create, integrate, and sustain new digital resources and
programs, such as imaging projects, within existing resources and
programs. Digital Library Program Development identifies the knowledge
necessary to begin developing local digital resources in a responsible,
sustainable, and systematic manner.

Topics to be addressed within the context of building the program
necessary for creating and providing access to digital information
include:

*Program planning and development
*Standards
*Workflow analysis
*Lifecycle management
*Assessing and supporting user needs
*Collaboration in production and access
*Evaluating and managing technology in support of the program and
patrons
*Establishing policies and standard procedures
*Integrating program activities with other related library activities.
