Message From the Director
OVC's Publishing Guidelines for Print and Multimedia describe
the criteria grantees and contractors must follow when submitting
materials to OVC to be published. We are committed to producing
quality products and welcome this opportunity to help you develop
dynamic and useful products that will both inspire
and instruct the victims' rights and services community.
You may have noticed an increased number of products released
exclusively on our Web site. The Internet has become an increasingly
important way to share information, and we have accepted the challenge
to communicate effectively in this new environment. This guide,
which includes tips on preparing information
for the Web, will help you—the grantee or contractor—develop
and organize text and format the information in a way that expedites
the publishing process.
In addition to print and Web-based publications, we offer a wide range of educational multimedia products designed to enhance the skills of service providers. Because these products play an important role in advancing our training agenda, we have expanded the publishing guidelines to include basic principles that will help producers skillfully manage the production process. We hope you will find this section useful and informative when planning your video project.
As the federal office responsible for enhancing the Nation's capacity to assist crime victims and provide leadership in changing attitudes, policies, and practices to promote justice and healing for all victims, we look forward to working with you to produce products that meet and exceed professional standards of excellence.
Joye Frost
Acting Director, Office for Victims of Crime
