Digital Library Center: Digitization Activities and Average Times
All digitization complies with national standards. A number of variables impact the actual time it takes to complete a project, such as:
- Library priorities
- Expedited items
- Availability of information about the item(s) (what constitutes each item; number of items; any existing information, list, or inventory)
- Availability of catalog record or metadata
- Language of material
- Physical format of material (e.g., print, photograph, map; and size/structure)
- Intellectual format of material (monograph, serial, and/or series)
- Copyright requirements/permissions
- Date material last reviewed by a library liaison and department
- Physical condition of material
- Degree to which automation can be utilized
- Space availability and system functionality
- Need for collection pages, banners, text, new displays, etc.
Consultation, preferably early in a project timeline, is critical.
