  • determining how to measure the impact of digital collections;
  • developing areas of commonality and benchmarks in how we measure collections across various platforms;
  • understanding cost and benefit of digital collections; and
  • exploring how can we best collect, analyze, communicate, and share such information effectively across our various stakeholders—from collection managers to scholars.
