Wisconsin Digital Library: Bringing the Pieces Together
• Begin discussion on coordinating access to
Wisconsin’s digitized historical resources.
• Identify options for linking of various digital library
collections within the state.
• Discuss methods for promoting broad public
awareness of digital resources and for attracting
future funding.
Discussion Questions
• What is the best way to facilitate collaboration across the
state – within the library community and within the
wider community of cultural institutions?
• How do we avoid duplication in digital projects?
• How can we assure best practices in capturing content
and creating metadata?
• How do we make sure that digitized content is readily
available and easy to find for the typical information
seeker?

Early Projects
• Shawano City-County Library
• Central Wisconsin
Digitization Project
Why digitize?
• Go where your audience is--the
web is the first place students,
genealogists, and other
researchers look for information.
• Improve access to “invisible”
materials.
• Protect fragile or heavily used
materials.
• Learn more about your
collections.
• Contribute to our collective
knowledge.

Collection
Collection hosted in Milwaukee
