Digital Readiness Toolkit - Now Available!
by Gallo, Biz (MDE) 08 Jul '22

08 Jul '22

I'm excited to share this amazing new resources from my colleagues in Wisconsin: The long-awaited Digital Readiness Toolkit<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Frecollect…> has launched and available for use! This revised and expanded set of tools, guidelines, examples, templates, and other resources is a complete guide to creating and tending a digital collection. The Toolkit was developed specifically to meet the needs of small cultural heritage organizations and is freely available for anyone to use. Every stage of the Toolkit's development, from planning to design to review to testing, was driven by community input. This work was supported in part by grants to WiLS, in partnership with Recollection Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Historical Society, from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC). Please feel free to use and share widely. Biz Gallo Statewide Digitization Initiatives Coordinator Library of Michigan, 702 W.

07 Jul '22

Bellaire Public Library's board of trustees would like me to gather any policies libraries may have that address the search, application, and other processes involved in grants for public libraries. They are particularly interested in how other library boards approve applying for a grant and how library staff is required to update boards on grant administration and communicate to the board any financial obligations. Any policy sample would be greatly appreciated! -- Cindi L. Place, MLIS Director, Bellaire Public Library bellairelibrary(a)torchlake.com 231-533-8814
