* The project will create new ways for users to search and access Library content, opening up our library collections to our own users and to users throughout the world
* Although we have engaged in large-scale (preservation-based) conversion of parts of the Library's collection for several years, we know that only through partnerships of this sort can something of this scale be achieved
* We believe that, beyond providing basic access to Library collections, this activity is critically transformative, enabling the University Library to build on and reconceive vital Library services for the new millennium.<ref>[http://www.lib.umich.edu/mdp/ Michigan Digitization Project] About page</ref>
