The principles of digitization (1)
 1: The institution which intends to
digitize its resources or build their own
digital collections in some other way
should consider and adopt the
digitization policy.
 2: Digitization activity should be
planned through the projects with
clearly specified objectives and results,
activity plan, responsibilities,
resources, and evaluation procedure.

The principles of digitization (2)
 3: Materials which are to be digitized
should be carefully selected and
thoroughly prepared, starting from the
objective and digitization procedure.
Preparation for digitization always
includes the preparation of metadata as
well.
 4: Wherever possible, the standardized
procedures should be established.
 5: Project of digitization should consider
and offer the solution for the long-term
preservation and digital collection
management issues.

The principles of digitization (3)
 6: Good digitization programme
envisages the systematic development
of organizational capabilities and
resources, high involvement of
personnel and co-operation with other
institutions.
 7: Digitization programme should
comprise standards and procedures for
monitoring and quality control.
