Use the NDNP Guidelines (http://www.loc.gov/ndnp/guidelines/selection.html) to determine your rankings. Consider the following: research value (statewide/regional influence, special audiences, paper of record), geographic representation, temporal coverage, completeness of film, diversity, and duplication.

● Highest priority for digitization—Newspaper meets all intellectual selections criteria and the
lack of inclusion of title would constitute a serious gap in the project. Inclusion furthers
scholarship.
● High priority—Newspaper meets most intellectual criteria. Lack of inclusion of title would be
noticed, yet other titles may suffice.
● Medium priority—Newspaper meets some intellectual selection criteria. Lack of inclusion of
title may not be noticed because other titles provide similar coverage.
● Low priority—Newspaper meets few intellectual selection criteria. Inclusion of title may fill
some gaps, but generally lack of inclusion would not affect scholarship.
● Not recommended—Newspaper does not meet intellectual selection criteria.
