IMLS Completed Review Report +`a INSTITUTE of •••:: MuseumandLibrary ° °s •� SERVICES LG -07 -14 -0067 City of Santa Ana LG- Statement of Need The statement of need is only slightly confusing, because it seems these particular organizations already have funding that can be used to serve these populations. What would be nice for the reviewer would be a clearer statement of NEED rather than a statement of "let's keep this thing going." I support this work, but I would wonder what the IMLS sees as its priorities with this kind of grant. Is it for new demonstration projects or for continuing to enhance infrastructure for current successes, or both? What is clear from the Historypin site is that we need more migration stories, and if this enables that, then we should support it. LG- Impact It is clear from the literature and from successes of projects like this that if delivered successfully this demonstration will have great impact. Questions What is a "robotic digitization kit "? LG- Project Design There are models being deployed in the application of this demonstration (e.g., Teen Community Historians Model). What does it mean for a demonstration grant to deploy particular models at particular site when they are not accounted for in the evaluation and assessment explicitly? How do you know these work and these are the ones to chose in the first place? Will the content created at particular sites be shared? If they are entered in the site's particular content management system, how do we guarantee one of your key concerns which is interoperability mentioned in the section above? LG- Project Resources: Personnel, Time, Budget These are small percentages for such an ambitious and complex project, yes? LG -Comm unications Plan Is there any assessment of the Teen Community Historian model in this context? LG- Sustainability Seems fine to me. Seems fine to me. Total Score: 4 Additional Comments: No further comments for this proposal. 20B -12
