Criteria for Evaluating Proposals to Produce, Curate, or Preserve Digital Content
Version 1.4, April 2, 2013
The Libraries welcomes proposals for projects involving the production, stewardship, and/or preservation of digital content. Consideration will be
given to projects that relate to the scholarly activities of members of the University community and that can be made available to the widest possible
audience. Projects should have a discrete digital product(s) of academic value or community significance.
The following criteria are intended to help reviewers, potential partners, and content managers evaluate the viability of proposed digital projects.
Criteria in bold are required for approving a digital project proposal normal items are for consideration. In addition, copyright and intellectual
property considerations may affect our ability to preserve and provide access to digital content. The value of the anticipated product should justify
the effort expended to develop it.
For digitization projects: The condition of the materials will be considered. Digitization may serve either a preservation or access need and
most projects address both of these aspects. Digitization may protect fragile items, but they must be able to withstand handling necessary for
digitization.
For born digital content: The format of project materials will not restrict consideration.
