CARLI Book Digitization Initiative

A new project to provide optimal access to and preservation of our unique materials in Illinois

CARLI has partnered with the Open Content Alliance to provide a digitization opportunity for Illinois academic and research libraries. The 2007 report, Rethinking CARLI Collections Awards Program, recommends new directions "to support the conversion of materials from physical formats to electronic/digital formats, in order to make them more readily accessible for resource sharing." This partnership with a known digitization leader supports this direction in:

• Building a significant digital collection (2,500+ works)
• Expanding access to physical collections through digitization
• Promoting e-access to CARLI resources
