Workshop on Sustainability Planning for Digital Projects

[Evviva Weinraub]

*Sustaining Digital Resources: The Business Model Bootcamp for *

*Digital Project Leaders*

August 8, 9, 10

Hosted by Northwestern University Libraries

Evanston, IL



Sustaining Digital Resources, the Business Model “Bootcamp,” takes place
this summer from August 8-10. It will be hosted by Northwestern University
Libraries, at the campus in Evanston, just 30 minutes outside of Chicago
and easily accessible by public transit.

 This intensive workshop is ideally suited for project leaders who are
actively engaged in creating and managing existing projects, and has also
been beneficial to those in the process of writing proposals for major new
initiatives. By applying business strategies to digital initiatives,
participants are encouraged to refine their goals, define success metrics,
delve more deeply into understanding user needs, and explore a range of
options for securing ongoing support for their work.  One past participant
described the program as “a mini-MBA where the topic is your project.”

 Successful past participants have included project leaders from libraries,
museums, archives and historical societies, faculty PIs of grant-funded
software or content-based initiatives in all disciplines, and publishing
professionals. The program is for those either formulating a plan for an
upcoming grant, or at the point where having a well-considered strategy for
further support is necessary.

 *The deadline for applications is June 30. *

[*Note*: The final workshop schedule now runs from midday Monday, August 8
through midday Wednesday, August 10. The course tuition has been modified
to adjust for this slightly shorter program. Teams of two, $2,000;
individual applicants, $1250.]

Teams are strongly encouraged to apply.  For more information and to submit
