The following resource just appeared in the weekly Scout Report from University of Wisconsin-Madison and it seemed to be worthwhile for anyone starting a digital project, whether in connection to a literacy class or independently, so I thought I would share it.
===================================================
 Washington State Library: Digital Best Practices
http://digitalwa.statelib.wa.gov/newsite/best.htm

In recent years, more attention has been paid to the planning and creation
of online digital projects. This type of information is perhaps more helpful
now that ever; particularly given recent budget cutbacks and belt-tightening
throughout a broad range of institutions, such as public libraries,
universities, and colleges. With that in mind, the Washington State Library
has assembled this site devoted to Digital Best Practices. Users can begin
by working their way through a scenario that will help delineate and define
a community-based collaborative digital project, or by browsing through a
list of topics. The topics covered within the site include project
management, technology, funding, and collection preparation. Additionally,
users can read about the experiences of five libraries in Washington state
as they set out to test digital methods and procedures. [KMG]
