Over several years of managing digital projects, librarians at the University of North Texas Libraries have refined their knowledge management and digitisation operations to realise gains in efficiency and error reduction, and to provide a more fluid imaging workflow for staff and student workers. This paper describes the opportunities identified in pre-processing projects and front-loading decision-making for physical collections.
Keywords: project management; digitisation; digital workflow; project preparation; documentation; standards
