Digital Collections


A Framework of Guidance for Building Good Digital Collections from NISO.
The Framework of Guidance for Building Good Digital Collections provides a set of high-level principles as a framework for identifying, organizing, and applying existing knowledge and resources to collections of digital resources. It was originally prepared under the auspices of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and released in 2001. It was intended as a resource for grant applicants to the IMLS and other federal funding agencies. However, since its release it has received wide-recognition in the library and museum communities and the endorsement of the Digital Library Federation.
