=== Time spent === Digitization is a time-consuming process, even more so when the condition or format of the analog resources requires special handling.<ref>UK Parliament. (2016, October 24). ''Parliamentary archives: The digitisation process'' [Video]. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p3-v0rp1rc</ref> Deciding what part of a collection to digitize can sometimes take longer than digitizing it in its entirety.<ref name=":103">Erway, R. (2008, December). Supply and demand: Special collections and digitisation. ''LIBER Quarterly, 18''(3/4), 324-336.</ref> Each digitization project is unique and workflows for one will be different from every other project that goes through the process, so time must be spent thoroughly studying and planning each one to create the best plan for the materials and the intended audience.<ref>Chapman, S. (2009, June 2). Chapter 2: Managing digitization. ''Library Technology Reports, 40''(5), 13-21.</ref>
