There are several problems that being faced by the organization that make a digitization of their collection related to limited access of their collection. The more technology advances, the more converged the system of digitization that can increase the cost of maintenance to make sure that the digitization system functions well. Due to the fact that digitization will incur a huge cost, feasibility study is needed to assess the strength, weaknesses, opportunity and threats (SWOT) of a proposed project and present direction and interventions of activities which will improve a project and achieve the desired results.
