Digital Library Collection Development • Very few have formal, written collection development policy • Decision-making may rest with donor, digitizer, or management group • Principles followed (formal and informal): • Donor-driven • Uniqueness • Local history • Research and teaching interest for the institution • Prospective audience • Preservation
Staffing the Digital Library in Lean Years • Repurpose vacant positions • Realign responsibilities for existing positions • Metadata – cataloging by any other name • Job enrichment by digitizing and creating metadata for digital objects • Blended Technical Services and Digital Services staffing
Marketing the Digital Library • Web sites • Flickr: The Commons
Marketing digital with print - DeGolyer Library bookmarks
Assessment • Counting the usage • Tying usage to promotion • Sending out dashboard statistics to management • Analyzing user locations
SMU Utilizes New Blog and has Links to Facebook, Twitter, for Marketing
