Now Available: D-CRAFT, the Digital Content Reuse Assessment Framework Toolkit

  • 1.  Now Available: D-CRAFT, the Digital Content Reuse Assessment Framework Toolkit

    Posted Jul 05, 2023 02:53 PM

    The Digital Library Federation Assessment Interest Group, Content Reuse Working Group is happy to release D-CRAFT, the Digital Content Reuse Assessment Framework Toolkit.

    The result of an Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) National Leadership/National Forum grant (LG-36-19-0036-19), the toolkit walks users through the methods and tools that are available to measure use and reuse of digital objects. The toolkit discusses the ethical considerations related to each method and tool, and also provides a set of overarching ethical guidelines related to undertaking such assessment. If you work with digital collections at galleries, libraries, archives, museums, or repositories, this toolkit is for you!

    To learn more:

    The project Team would like to thank IMLS, the Digital Library Federation, our grant consultants, our contributing experts, the advisory group, all the community contributors, and our home institutions for their generous support of our project.
