Kinnaman, Alex2022-10-172022-10-172022-09-27http://hdl.handle.net/10919/112180Many of us in digital libraries find ourselves scraping together policies, procedures, documentation, and even software by borrowing bits and pieces from others, but rarely is there a single source or guide. At Virginia Tech, we have developed a collection of public-facing policies for our digital library, but like many other organizations, we have no idea if they are useful to anyone but us. As a digital preservationist, I know that my colleagues are always searching for a standardized template for creating a Preservation Policy, for example, and while there are some structures available as guides, use cases are more impactful. For this informal discussion, I would like to engage in strategies for creating reusable digital library resources for digital library practitioners. Allowing our internal resources to be discoverable and accessible, where appropriate, increases knowledge-sharing and saves us all time by not reinventing the wheel. This topic aligns with the general conference theme of community approaches as this discussion is a community brainstorm on how to solve a problem we all may encounter.application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 InternationalDocumentationDigital librariesPoliciesReuseReinventing the Wheel: Increasing Reusability of Digital Library Policies and DocumentationConference proceeding2022-10-17BPE 2022 ProgramKinnaman, Alex [0000-0001-8943-8946]
