Abstract

This white paper details our findings to date relevant to the Framework of Guidance for Building Good Digital Collections. We provide sixteen recommendations to NISO suggesting potential ways to improve the impact and/or utility of the Framework itself. For selected recommendations, we identify complementary research opportunities for IMLS; these appear as boxed text alongside each relevant recommendation. We base our comments and recommendations largely on observations of practice gleaned over the first three plus years of the IMLS Digital Collections and Content project.
