In this section is a list of areas that a digitization program manager may need to make institutional policies for. It is left blank so it can be filled in as part of the planning stages of a digitization program, or as part of a revamp of an existing program. The particulars of each list item are not discussed in the checklist, but can be found in discussions elsewhere in this document. Consultation within an institution is often required, as many of these policies have impacts well outside the digitization team.

Please print the below sheets to help manage your Digitization Program:
