Abstract
Have you ever wondered how digital ecosystems take root and are sustained into the future so invaluable resources are accessible for generations to come? Join Janet Bishop, Dean of The Claremont Colleges Library (TCCL), Karen Estlund, Dean of Libraries at Colorado State University (CSU) and Kelvin Watson, Executive Director of the Las Vegas - Clark County Library District for a deep dive into the various “life phases” of digitization projects.
Gain insights from Janet on establishing collaborative partnerships with regional organizations to kickstart high-interest projects, as was done through TCCL’s grant-funded Western Water Archive. Learn about strategies to sustain digital archival collections through fundraising and creative partnerships from Karen, who will discuss CSU’s long-standing Water Resources Archive. And discover how to make coveted digitized collections accessible for community exploration and use through Kelvin’s discussion of diverse and topical collaborations, such as the Queens Memory Project, Virtual AARLCC, and Las Vegas-Clark County Library District initiatives.
