Abstract
ABSTRACT The following is a variable cost analysis of an urban university's first digital library project. In this case study, digital library team members tracked labor expenditures so that pre-digitization costs to the library could be quantified. Salaried individuals and administrative costs such as planning meetings were included in this study so that the total costs to the library could be determined. The authors also used document sampling to predict their digitization costs, suggest cost categories to track, and argue that libraries can expect high variable costs to their institutions for first digital projects in particular, when the learning curve will always be the highest.
