Resources for Projects Developing Digital Products

IMLS provides A Framework of Guidance for Building Good Digital Collections as a resource for applicants planning and implementing digital projects. This document presents general principles for planning and implementing digital projects, and is currently made available online by the National Information Standards Organization at http://framework.niso.org.

In addition, IMLS participates in the Federal Agencies Digitization Guidelines Initiative (FADGI), a collaborative effort by federal agencies to define common standards, guidelines, methods, and best practices for creating digital collections. The FADGI Web site at http://www.digitizationguidelines.gov includes a growing list of links to relevant standards, recommendations, and other resources. While this list is not exhaustive, nor is any particular resource endorsed by IMLS, applicants considering digital projects may find the information useful.

You also can access descriptions of IMLS-funded digitization projects, on our Web site at http://www.imls.gov/recipients/grantsearch.aspx.

An archived list of resources is available here.
