Expanding Discoverability with the Digital Library of Georgia: Strengthening Your Partnership Through Subgrants, Harvesting and More

Presented virtually at the 2022 Georgia Libraries Conference on October 18, 2022, from 9:00 am to 9:45 am.

Abstract

For this session, UGA Law Library teams up with the Digital Library of Georgia to give you a first-hand look at what it means to be a partner with the DLG. Mandy Mastrovita and Mary Willoughby will present the in's and out's of subgranting, including digitization and digital preservation, metadata, and public relations. The lifecycle of the DLG subgranting program will be covered in detail with visual examples throughout. Next they'll turn things over to Rachel Evans, metadata and special collections librarian at UGA Law Library, who over the course of the last 2 years has strengthened her library's partnership with DLG. Rachel will give the partner-side of the subgranting program, including how she turned a rejected initial subgrant proposal into a winning one, and what it took for her to fulfill UGA Law Library's side of their subgrant earlier this year. Finally, Rachel, Mandy and Mary will provide examples of additional services a relationship with the DLG affords your library (including expert consultation, support letters for other grant funding opportunities, and advice on in-house digitization when you have no staff or budget).
