Building Digital Repositories with Limited Resources: Best Practices and Case Studies

[Abby Clobridge]

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing a book, Building Digital Repositories with Limited
Resources, which is scheduled to be published by Chandos Publications
in 2010. I am planning to include a section of case studies and best
practices to give readers ideas they can easily and inexpensively
adopt. If you have developed a tool, technique, method, project, or
program that you would like to have considered to be included in the
book, please fill out this questionnaire: http://bit.ly/bdrlr-survey01

I am particularly interested in examples from institutions outside of
the United States and case studies that would be applicable to
academic libraries.

Specific areas of interest include (but are not limited to):
integrating web2.0 technologies into digital libraries; strategies for
outreach and assessment; cost-effective digital preservation
strategies; tools to automate metadata production; metadata production
and repository workflow tools; and scalable methods for working with
faculty to deposit their publications in open access repositories.

For further information about the book, please visit its page on the
Woodhead Publishing web site: http://bit.ly/chandos-clobridge.

If you have any questions, please contact me at

Thank you.
