Best Practices for Digital Collections at Univ of Maryland Libraries

Digital Collections and Resources at the University of Maryland
Libraries is pleased to announce the new edition of  "Best Practices
for Digital Collections at UM Libraries"

   <URL:http://www.lib.umd.edu/dcr/publications.html>

In addition to covering topics such as project lifecycle management
and technical specifications for still images and text, this new
edition covers audio and moving image formats, Web authoring
guidelines, user centered design as well as a local interpretation
of the "digital master" concept.

While the document was prepared primarily for in-house use, UM
Libraries welcomes feedback and discussion on the concept and
content from the wider cultural heritage community.
