Digital Initiatives and Funds
In February, 2004, on the VRA members’ listserv the perennially challenging question was posed by Gretchen Tuchel, University of St. Thomas in Minnesota: how to find start-up money for converting to a digital collection? Specifically, she was interested in finding examples of successful collaborations with an institution’s library. The numerous responses addressed various strategies for gaining administrative support and funding in a campus setting. See summary.
