"The selection of content for digitisation and funding should recognise local public priorities as well as network collection building."

"Selection for preservation in digital form is not a one-time choice made near the end of an item's life, but rather an ongoing process intimately connected to the active use of the digital files."

A number of institutions also made their unpublished selection criteria documents available to members of the working group. We would like to thank them and encourage all attending the RLG/NPO conference to bring copies of their institutional policies on selection of material for digital imaging.
