This technology is a key way forward in the twenty-first century, but it is important to develop a strategy to fully assess the costs and benefits of going ahead with a digitization project, and to know when it is the right or the wrong time to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book presents information managers with all the strategic and practical issues to consider when making the decision to digitize their collections.
