The Content Reuse Working Group is currently investigating new projects.


== Current Projects ==
== Content Reuse Working Group Charge ==


Building on the recommendations from [https://osf.io/9nbqg/ Surveying the Landscape: Use and Usability Assessment of Digital Libraries], the User Studies Working Group's Content Reuse subgroup is focused on developing a needs assessment to better understand the desired scope and functionality of a toolkit designed to measure digital library object reuse.
The working group will research, develop, and/or deploy recommended practices for digital content reuse in galleries, libraries, archives, museums, repositories, and other cultural heritage organizations.


The subgroup has submitted a grant proposal to the [[https://www.imls.gov/ Institute of Museum and Library Services] to obtain funding to complete this needs assessment. The project's preliminary proposal can be found here

=== [https://reuse.diglib.org/ Digital Content Reuse Assessment Framework Toolkit (D-CRAFT)] ===


In preparation for the submission of this application, the project team has conducted an environmental scan of existing tools and resources as well as of non-reuse toolkits to identify the ideal components to include in a future toolkit.

=== Proposed Grant Activities ===
From July 2019 through June 2023, members of the working group designed and deployed the [https://reuse.diglib.org/ Digital Content Reuse Assessment Framework Toolkit (D-CRAFT)]. D-CRAFT helps digital library practitioners measure the use and reuse of their digital objects. The toolkit can help streamline the reuse assessment process and make it more efficient.


An IMLS National Leadership/National Forum Grant will enable stakeholders from a variety of institutions to meet with members of the project team to discuss the issues facing implementation of content reuse assessment, the tools and resources identified in the environmental scan, necessary infrastructure for the toolkit, and next steps towards toolkit development.
The toolkit contains:


=== About the Toolkit ===
* How to use [https://reuse.diglib.org/toolkit/ 10 different assessment methods]
* An interactive [https://reuse.diglib.org/home/tutorials/ tutorial] for each method
* How to [https://reuse.diglib.org/toolkit/telling-stories-of-impact/ tell stories of impact]

* [https://reuse.diglib.org/ethical-guidelines/ Ethical guidelines]
* [https://reuse.diglib.org/related-resources/ Related resources]
* [https://reuse.diglib.org/glossary/ Glossary] of terms


The ultimate goal of the toolkit will be to provide a roadmap, tools, techniques, and documentation to assess the reuse of materials within a given digital library in order to help libraries plan and deliver content to different user groups. The toolkit will provide analysis of the purpose, strengths, and weaknesses of available tools and allow the user to choose the resources that best fit their assessment needs. Included resources will support the full lifecycle of reuse assessment, from defining goals, assembling vetted tools, and pointing to current studies and research in this area.

The Content Reuse Working Group is currently investigating new projects.

Content Reuse Working Group Charge

The working group will research, develop, and/or deploy recommended practices for digital content reuse in galleries, libraries, archives, museums, repositories, and other cultural heritage organizations.

Past Projects

Digital Content Reuse Assessment Framework Toolkit (D-CRAFT)

About the Project

From July 2019 through June 2023, members of the working group designed and deployed the Digital Content Reuse Assessment Framework Toolkit (D-CRAFT). D-CRAFT helps digital library practitioners measure the use and reuse of their digital objects. The toolkit can help streamline the reuse assessment process and make it more efficient.

The toolkit contains:

  • Liz Woolcott

The project team was assisted by project consultants, experts, and an advisory group.

Developing a Framework for Measuring Reuse of Digital Objects

About the Project

From July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018, members of working group conducted the Developing a Framework for Measuring Reuse of Digital Objects project. The project conducted a formal needs assessment of the digital library community to determine desired functionality for a future reuse assessment toolkit.

The project was sponsored by an IMLS National Leadership/National Forum grant (LG-73-17-0002-17) award.

In September 2018 the project team released Setting a Foundation for Assessing Content Reuse: A White Paper From the Developing a Framework for Measuring Reuse of Digital Objects (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/BQJVR). This white paper (a) provides a broad overview of the Measuring Reuse project, including background information on the AIG, (b) outlines the methods used by the project team, (c) summarizes results, and (d) discusses potential next steps.
