Digital Projects Review Subcommittee

The Digital Projects Review Subcommittee is a subcommittee of the Collection Development and Maintenance Committee. It is responsible for informing and educating library employees about all aspects of digitization projects in the University Libraries, including project development, funding and management. The committee maintains and periodically reviews the application form and process that library employees must follow to request a digitization project. Committee members assist library faculty and staff with the application process. The committee monitors applications for digitization projects and makes recommendations where appropriate. The committee maintains a website with relevant instructions, documents and forms.

Digital Projects Review Form [pdf] is required for all projects to move from the idea phase to the viable projects phase. Its purpose is to document and communicate expectations around technical issues, content, time, financial and human resource requirements.
Special Project Review Form [pdf] is for expedited projects that are initiated at the Dean of University Libraries level. Typically this has been used for very small projects requiring a quick turnaround time by the Dean of University Libraries.
