collections • Decrease handling of the originals • Increase public visibility• Preservation of the original item/
image
![Page 7: 1 Digital Library Planning and Projects Guidelines](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3f5503460f94a189ae/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

and organize them into a database) • Storage media for your files
![Page 8: 1 Digital Library Planning and Projects Guidelines](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3f5503460f94a189ae/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Describing And Cataloging Your Materials
• Digital materials need to be described and cataloged effectively to be searched and retrieved • Consistent, comprehensive description and
cataloging• Accurate and consistent, using vocabulary
understood by both cataloger and user
![Page 9: 1 Digital Library Planning and Projects Guidelines](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3f5503460f94a189ae/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

• Exportability means that your data can be transferred to another database,
• Linking (connecting) your information within the database or with other institutions.
• Simple structure and consistent cataloging and data entry are keys to successful projects
![Page 27: 1 Digital Library Planning and Projects Guidelines](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3f5503460f94a189ae/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

• Physical organization • Naming, hierarchy, grouping (such as
subdirectories)
• The name of each directory and file should be meaningful
