  • Organizing for Digitization: A Survey Boock, Michael Vondracek, Ruth Research Libraries Academic Libraries Librarians Library Administration Library Personnel Media Adaptation Electronic Publishing Electronic Libraries Access to Information How are academic libraries organizing themselves in order to engage in the content selection and digitization of local collections? Are libraries creating new positions or units, assigning responsibilities to existing departments, setting up cross-functional collaboration among existing departments, or using a combination of these strategies? Who holds responsibility for the various activities related to digitization? The authors surveyed the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and the Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA) to answer these questions. (Contains 19 tables and 6 notes.)
