This report looks at the developing digital library
practices of leading universities and cultural institutions
including Cornell University, Oregon State University, the
University of Chicago and the Museum of Natural History, among
others. In detailed profiles based on lengthy interviews with
directors of digital resources and other individuals with
authority over major digitization efforts, the study details
developments in content management, marketing, metadata
development, collaborations, revenue generation, copyright
clearance, use of social media, grants and fundraising,
program assessment and metrics, equipment use and acquisition,
staff development, preservation, donor management and other
areas of interest to digitizers of content in libraries,
higher education, government and museums. The study looks
closely at the emergence of the academic library as a
publisher and generator of digital content, not just as a
custodian or receptacle. Increasingly, digitizers of
content have entered the scholarly and educational mainstream
and have propelled their content into prominent positions in
their institutions.
