Virtual Program: Click University

Managing Digitization Projects - Lessons Learned - Best Practices Developed, Part II

Presented by Oya Y. Rieger

November 26 to December 25, 2007

Course Details

Part II 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.

Audience

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.
