Description:
How are academic libraries organizing themselves in order to engage in the content
selection and digitization of local collections? Are libraries creating new positions or units, assigning
responsibilities to existing departments, setting up cross-functional collaboration among existing
departments, or using a combination of these strategies? Who holds responsibility for the various
activities related to digitization? The authors surveyed the Association of Research Libraries (ARL)
and the Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA) to answer these questions.
