THE NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR 

THE ARTS AND THE HUMANITIES 

Notice of Proposed Information 

Collection: IMLS Digital Collections 

and Content: Opening History of 

Evaluation 

AGENCY: Institute of Museum and 

Library Services, National Foundation 

for the Arts and the Humanities. 

ACTION: Notice, request for comments, 

collection of information. 

SUMMARY: The Institute of Museum and 

Library Services (IMLS), as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent burden, conducts a 

preclearance consultation program to 

provide the general public and federal 

agencies with an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 

This pre-clearance consultation program 

helps to ensure that requested data can 

be provided in the desired format, 

reporting burden (time and financial 

resources) is minimized, collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

the impact of collection requirements on 

respondents can be properly assessed. 

By this notice, IMLS is soliciting 

comments concerning a proposed 

evaluation that would collect 

information to assess the usefulness to 

reference-service providers in museums 

and libraries of the IMLS Digital 

Collections and Content project’s 

Opening History resource. 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request can be obtained by 

contacting the individual listed below 

in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

addressee section below on or before 

July 5, 2010. IMLS is particularly 

interested in comments that help the 

agency to: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques, or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submissions of responses. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to: Kim 

Miller, Management Analyst, Institute of 

Museum and Library Services, 1800 M 

St., NW., Washington, DC 20036. 

Telephone: 202–653–4762, Fax: 202– 

653–4600 or by e-mail at 

kmiller@imls.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of the information collection is 

to continue the development of the 

Institute of Museum and Library 

Services’ Digital Collections and 

Content (DCC) project, which has 

created two publicly available portals to 

digital collections hosted at institutions 

across the country: (1) IMLS DCC, a 

publicly available registry of IMLS 

National Leadership Grant (NLG) and 

Library Services and Technology Act 

(LSTA) digital collections and a 

repository of item-level metadata 

available from these collections; and (2) 

Opening History, a publicly available 

registry of digital U.S. History 

collections from cultural heritage 

institutions and a repository of itemlevel metadata from these collections. 

The DCC, which is available to the 

public via the Internet, provides 

important information about and access 

to the digital collections funded through 

IMLS grant programs. Opening History, 

also available to the public via the 

Internet, provides possibly the largest 

aggregation of digital collections 

focusing on U.S. History. The proposed 

information collection, which is the 

subject of this notice, would collect 

information to assess the usefulness to 

reference-service providers in museums 

and libraries of the IMLS DCC Opening 

History resource. 

Agency: Institute of Museum and 

Library Services.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Institute of Museum and Library 

Services (IMLS) is an independent 

Federal grant-making agency and is the 

primary source of federal support for the 

Nation’s 123,000 libraries and 17,500 

museums. IMLS provides a variety of 

grant programs to assist the Nation’s 

museums and libraries in improving 

their operations and enhancing their 

services to the public. IMLS is 

responsible for identifying national 

needs for, and trends of, museum and 

library services funded by IMLS; 

reporting on the impact and 

effectiveness of programs conducted 

with funds made available by IMLS in 

addressing such needs; and identifying, 

and disseminating information on, the 

best practices of such programs. (20 

U.S.C. Chapter 72, § 9108). 

Abstract: A current IMLS research 

initiative is an analysis of grants made 

to museums through the IMLS Museums 

for America program between 2004 and 

2009. The goal is to assess the outcomes 

and impact of such grants on 

institutions and their communities. As 

part of this research initiative, a survey, 

which is the subject of this Notice, will 

be undertaken to solicit information 

from past successful and unsuccessful 

grant applicants about the application 

process and the subsequent results on 

their programs. A small number of 

museum staff will be interviewed by 

phone or in person as part of the project 

case studies. These information 

collections will be developed based on 

what is needed to undertake an analysis 

and case studies of grant results. The 

information IMLS collects will build on, 

but not duplicate existing or ongoing 

collections.
