Prioritization Criteria
Project Evaluation
The following criteria are designed to assess strengths and weaknesses of a proposed project and promote an analytical approach. They
should be used to establish a strong rationale when requesting support from internal or external sources but they do not have equal
weight, and not all may be relevant to any given project.
*The project provides significant support for research and instruction.
*There are faculty and library advocates for the project.
*The project's intrinsic value will ensure long-term use by a significant audience within and/or beyond the University community.
*The project can be completed with available funding, or has the potential to generate funding through grants, donors, or other
external fund sources.
*The project will strengthen or enhance an existing digital resource, become part of an important virtual collection, or support a
national initiative such as those sponsored by Association of Research Libraries and Digital Library Federation.
*University of Hawaii has intellectual property rights to the content and can manage any required restrictions to access, or can
realistically solve any rights issues.
*The project falls within traditional areas of library service or moves our services in a direction consonant with the Library's strategic
directions.
*The project advances sustainable models for scholarly publishing.
*The project brings credit to UH Manoa library in a manner likely to generate further digital library projects and funding.
*The project has local or regional importance, and represents an effort only UH Manoa/Library D-CARP can initiate.
*The project is reasonable, practical, and achievable.
*The project saves money in the long term by eliminating the need to acquire resources, or by freeing up staff time.
*The project creates or sustains a partnership that the library will find valuable for future development.
*There is a compelling argument for digitizing material that is deteriorating.
*The project will expand our technical infrastructure or contribute to the development of national digital library standards.
