Steps to consider when developing
your plan:
1.Talk to your stake holders and explain why you are interested in moving forward.
2. Start small and preferably with a single project. It is easier to build on success and to get additional buy-in.
3. Start an accession list NOW!
4.Take the time needed to educate yourself – join a local association, build your network.
5. Remember provenance. When an item shows up on your desk, document where it came from, who created it, and how it fits into the life of your organization. Get as much history of the item as possible.
6. Remember original order -if it came together, keep it together (even if you need to separate based on storage needs – document as a unit).
7. Consider storage. Get a banker’s box, filing cabinet, commit a shelf … what works for you?
8. It is better to roll than to fold. Legal file folders hold most documents. Pictures don’t like light.
9.Talk about the project –advocacy is always a librarian’s friend.
10. Develop a mission statement and criteria for building collection. Remember to consider what is being born digitally.
11. Get the students involved if possible. They talk to parents and become alumni in time.
