| Summary: | Malaysian academic libraries have responded well to the government’s IT agenda. They
are among the first group of libraries to embark on digitization projects. This paper
attempts to discuss the types of materials digitized, guidelines, policies and provision for
access to the digitized materials. It also discusses some of the issues and challenges in
this process of enriching the local digital content. An appropriate training module with
practical guidelines and policy is recommended to ensure continuity and sustainability of
these projects. |
