Consultation

If you are planning a digital library project and/or considering applying for a grant - please consult early and often with the D-CARP staff. Developing a digital project is a multifaceted process. There are many factors to consider such as content selection, needs assessment, financial planning, copyright research, digitization, metadata, encoding, technical options for storage and access, and so on. D-CARP  can provide guidance in many of these areas.
