2004 METRO Digitization Survey: Final Report Prepared by the Metropolitan New York Library Council and Digital Collection Services, OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc.

Abstract

Given the depth of resources in the member libraries of the Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO), and because of the rich historical, cultural and language diversity of New York City and Westchester County, METRO supports the value of members' locally digitized information. Actively assisting members with local digitization efforts has been an important goal of METRO's Five Year Plan of Service since 2001. This survey, supported in part by Federal Library Services and Technology Act funds, awarded to the New York State Library by the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services, pursues that goal, and moves forward the goal of collaborative digitization projects in the METRO region.
