    "Biz of Digital" is a column in Against the Grain (http://www.against-the-grain.com/). It features discussions by working librarians on digital collections, digital repositories, digital scholarship, data services, and technology. Its audience is librarians in all types of libraries and vendors of products, services, and systems that support library digital services. Its focus is on current practices, techniques, processes, and information on events in the field. Against the Grain is a down-to-earth, practice-orientated library journal.

    • Specific digitization or preservation projects with interesting challenges that were overcome
    • Digital preservation for your digital repository or digital special collections
    • An overview of your library's activities in digital collections, digital repositories, and/or digital scholarship
    • Re-structuring to better manage digital collections, digital repositories, and/or digital repositories.
    • Promoting digital collections, digital repositories, and/or digital scholarship via digital media, e.g. social networks, blogs, etc.
    • Instruction utilizing repository or digital collections content
    • Copyright for digital services
    • Creative commons licenses and open access
    • Digitization
    • System migrations
    • Workflows
    • Outreach

    Feel free to choose any of these topics, or one of your own. Theoretical articles, research reports, "how-to" articles, case studies, literature reviews and conceptual or opinion pieces are welcome. Article length should be approximately 1200-1500 words (4-5 pages, double-spaced).

    Contributions may be written by individuals or co-authored.
