“At this stage, no new effort should be undertaken without a sense of how it will be merged with other existing collections and where the resources for long-term maintenance will come from.” Cornell University Digital Projects Librarian Ongoing programs, not projects

‘Aware’ funding for streamlined processes

Preserve right to reuse/remix

Work with partners to get what you want

Get going!

Say it out loud “During the next five years, the Library will strengthen further its distinctive work in two areas: digital information technology and special collections. At the same time, [we] will work collaboratively with both internal and external partners to increase access to these exceptional tools, systems, and resources; support new modes of teaching, learning, research, and scholarly communication; and preserve, store, and manage traditional and digital materials for future generations.”

Discovery happens elsewhere: be there

Think big thoughts

Use supply to increase demand
