Successful Digital Programs at Small Institutions</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"arial",sans-serif">Have you wanted to
create a digital collection at your institution, but believe you lack
the resources and know-how? Designed to help smaller institutions
with limited resources, this preconference will help you begin or
reinvigorate a digitization program that will endure. The four
presentations will focus on each step in the digital lifecycle,
including selection, metadata creation, access, and digital
preservation. This preconference event is intended for smaller
institutions that do not have individualized areas of expertise
available to help maintain a local digital collections program. <a href="http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT02NDEyMTg5JnA9MSZ1PTEwMjgzMTEwNzcmbGk9NDIxNjk4MjI/index.html" target="_blank">Register now</a>.</span></p>
