bring these valuable collections into the 21<sup>st</sup> century? This course will provide an overview of basic considerations for starting a digital collections project, with a special focus on resources and strategies for small or under-resourced institutions.
Topics include project preparation and readiness, defining scope, assessment and selection, basic digitization, metadata standards and requirements, rights statements, providing access, digital preservation, and using digital collections in organizational
advocacy. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
