Greetings:



This email is intended to update the community on the current and future work of the DLF AIG Content Reuse Working Group<https://wiki.diglib.org/Assessment:User/Reuse>. Over the next year, the group is focused on planning and the beginning stages of building the Digital Content Reuse Assessment Framework Toolkit (D-CRAFT). D-CRAFT builds off of the successful Developing a Framework for Measuring Reuse of Digital Objects<https://reuse.diglib.org/> (Measuring Reuse) project, an IMLS grant initiative (LG-73-17-0002-17), which ran from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018.



Content Reuse Working Group in 2019

The team has focused on concluding the work of the Measuring Reuse project and setting the foundation for D-CRAFT. To date, the group has:



*         Released Setting a Foundation for Assessing Content Reuse: A White Paper From the Developing a Framework for Measuring Reuse of Digital Objects<https://osf.io/y9ghc/> (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/BQJVR) in September 2018.

*         Published "Barriers and solutions to assessing digital library reuse: preliminary findings"<https://www.emeraldinsight.com/doi/pdfplus/10.1108/PMM-03-2018-0012> in Performance Measurement and Metrics, detailing the initial results of the Measuring Reuse project.

*         Submitted an IMLS National Leadership Grants for Libraries proposal to build D-CRAFT. If awarded, the project will begin in Summer 2019 and last 2.5 years.
