Digital Library Program (formerly known as DPIG)
Purpose
The Digital Library Program coordinates and promotes information technologies, standards, and best practices to create, preserve, and use materials digitized by the Library, alone or in partnership with others. It has management oversight and responsibility for the Library's digitization projects, including the digital publishing program and partnerships with faculty, publishers, and others. Such information production and management projects make resource demands on multiple departments, and need common oversight to ensure success; these initiatives also require careful workflow management, including resource allocation, and DPIG provides guidance for these elements of project design.
In early 2016 members of this group was renamed, the structure reassessed, and membership updated.
