3. Once the new resource is available in production, content providers are encouraged to
promote the resource to appropriate audiences and are responsible for any additional
outreach activities.
Additional Information
1. Project ideas must have the support of a library director (or designee) to be considered.
The UWDCSC/DSC weighs various criteria in determining which projects to fund and/or
develop.
2. It is important to understand at the outset that any digital project will require a significant
allocation of staff and infrastructural resources. Thus, not every project proposal will be
approved.
3. For approved projects, the UWDCC will work to ensure projects are completed in an
efficient and timely manner. The UWDCSC/DSC applies professional standards related
to reformatting, description, and delivery models whenever possible. Use of
professionally endorsed library/archives standards (e.g. Dublin Core metadata) renders a
digital project compatible with other collections included in the library’s digital
collections.
4. The UWDCC offers delivery options and models for creating, describing and delivering
both text-based (e.g. books, journals, correspondence, etc.) and multimedia (e.g. images,
audio, video, etc.) materials via the Internet. Review these options for a better
understanding of our content management systems and how your project materials may
fit within our current infrastructure.
