Kansas State Library

The State Library of Kansas will produce a digital collection management system that is adapted to include an intuitive, streamlined, and highly functional web-based interface. Other institutions with text heavy documents will be able to take advantage of the project's approach in adapting a CONTENTdm website to suit their specific needs. In addition to the scanned historical documents produced by library staff, the project will produce a documentation of best practices that will be made available to other institutions and tested with at least one other records management group. The intangible, intellectual outcomes of the grant, in addition to the added access to information that these documents will provide to academic, governmental, and civilian populations, is a knowledge base concerning digital organization, presentation, and management that can be utilized by other information professionals.
