BENEFITS OF ATTENDING -- PAST PARTICIPANTS COMMENT: -- This conference will directly benefit our collections and institution, since we will be writing and updating our policies and plans relating to our digital collections after the conference. -- Although I had a patchwork knowledge of digital collections management from several years of self-directed study, the Digital Directions conference provided me with the solid foundation I need to move forward and build a truly comprehensive program. -- Attending this conference will help me improve the metadata that will be used for the library's web archive collection. Also, it will help me decide what items the library may want to digitize and in what order. Finally, it has provided me sources to seek out for help with digitizing parts of the collection.
