functions, and their interfaces.
The University of Wisconsin Digital Collections (UWDC): The Council of Wisconsin libraries
and UW System's Office of Learning &Information Technology established the UWDC in 2001
to provide quality digital resources from its academic libraries to UW faculty, staff and students,
citizens of the state, and scholars at large.
Getting Started
Review the following steps to better understand our project process and instigate a potential
digital project.
Phase 1: Pre-Production
1. Contact the UWDCC
Use our Web web form (http://uwdcc.library.wisc.edu/forms/submitProposal.shtml)form
to suggest a project idea. UWDCC will respond to your inquiry within 2 business days.
2. Project Questionnaire
Once we’ve received your project idea, we may set up a meeting to discuss your idea and
assess the materials you intend to digitize. At this meeting, we will complete a Project
Questionnaire. This form will provide the UWDCC with basic information necessary to
begin developing a project workflow and timeline. UWDCC staff will assist you in
completing this form, if necessary. If a meeting is not required, we will ask you to fill out
this form and submit it to us via email.
3. Technical Assessment
If the project information presented through the Project Questionnaire is sufficient to
proceed, you will be asked to work with UWDCC staff to complete a more detailed
Technical Assessment of your project materials, in order to discern staff and hardware
resources necessary to complete the project. This detailed information will help inform
content delivery options, capture methods, encoding and metadata description levels,
maintenance, budgeting and other project criteria.
4. Committee(s) Review
Once the Technical Assessment is finished, UWDCC staff will complete a Project Brief.
The Project Brief contains a cost estimate and information gathered through your Project
Questionnaire and Technical Assessments. The Project Brief is then forwarded to the
appropriate steering committees and will be used to review and approve your project.
5. Memo of Understanding (MOU)
If your project is approved by the steering committees, the Project Briefs, Technical
Assessment and Cost Estimate forms will be used to derive a Memorandum of
