Some criteria for digitization selection decisions are straightforward: copyright, cost, and condition are obvious factors that influence selection decisions. Other factors include discovery and access mechanisms, intrinsic value, potential audiences, purpose of the collection, and collection policies. Panelists will address the topic of selecting resources for digitization showing examples from existing digital collections and discussing factors that influenced the selection process.

Registration deadline is Wednesday, February 17, 2012
