[Peter Suber]

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing a book, Building Digital Repositories with Limited Resources, 
which is scheduled to be published by Chandos Publications in 2010. I am 
planning to include a section of case studies and best practices to give 
readers ideas they can easily and inexpensively adopt. If you have 
developed a tool, technique, method, project, or program that you would 
like to have considered to be included in the book, please fill out this 
questionnaire: <http://bit.ly/bdrlr-survey01>http://bit.ly/bdrlr-survey01

I am particularly interested in examples from institutions outside of the 
United States and case studies that would be applicable to academic libraries.

Specific areas of interest include (but are not limited to): integrating 
web2.0 technologies into digital libraries; strategies for outreach and 
assessment; cost-effective digital preservation strategies; tools to 
automate metadata production; metadata production and repository workflow 
tools; and scalable methods for working with faculty to deposit their 
publications in open access repositories.

For further information about the book, please visit its page on the 
Woodhead Publishing web site:
