NINCH ANNOUNCEMENT
SEPTEMBER 22, 1998

              DIGITIZATION LESSONS LEARNED IN FIRST ROUND OF
    LIBRARY OF CONGRESS/AMERITECH NATIONAL DIGITAL LIBRARY COMPETITION
             <http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/award/lessons.html>

This webpage is a very useful survey of some of the lessons learned from
the 1996-97 winners of the Library of Congress/Ameritech National Digital
Library Competition, based on the tracking reports of implemented projects.

Below I reproduce the introduction to the webpage.

David Green
===========

"LC/Ameritech award winners from the first round of the competition have
already learned many lessons about digitization projects. To help other
award-winners and applicants take advantage of this experience, the
competition staff have summarized, extracted, and paraphrased points from
some of the six-monthly reports submitted by awardees.

"The extracts are organized by topics that correspond to required sections
of the application:

* Formats and Specifications for Digital Reproductions
* Production Workflow and Project Management
* Intellectual Access

"Links from project titles are to descriptions of the projects prepared by
competition staff when awards were made. In several cases, links from those
pages lead to web-based presentations of proposals, previews, or the
resulting digital content by the awardee institutions."
