Building a Digital Repository Program with Limited Resources

Whether you are just starting to create a digital repository or your institution already has a fully-developed program, this book provides strategies for building and maintaining a high-use, cohesive, and fiscally-responsible repository with collections that showcase your institution.

The book explains how to strategically select projects tied to your institution’s goals, create processes and workflows designed to support a fully-functioning program, and creatively utilize existing resources.

The benefits of taking a holistic approach to creating a digital repository program rather than focusing only on individual collections are discussed.

Case studies and best practices from various institutions round out the author’s practical suggestions.
