These case studies from the National Library of Medicine, James Madison University and the University of Oklahoma offer practical insights and value!
Digital Imaging and
Preservation for Special Collections at the University of Oklahoma Libraries
Over a period of three
years the University of Oklahoma Libraries brought a new digitization facility
for special collections materials to full working capacity while providing
substantial digitization support for a major exhibition. The more recent focus
is building capacity for metadata work, digital preservation, and online
access. Whether it is digital photography, metadata guidebooks, or file
packaging, the key to this successful new digitization and preservation
capability has been to learn, communicate, and improve quickly and iteratively.
· Confirmed Speaker: Barbara Laufersweiler, Coordinator, Digitization Lab and Project Manager, Knowledge Services, The University of Oklahoma Libraries
Integrating Images from
the History of Medicine into NLM Digital Collections
In this case study, the National Library of Medicine will discuss its efforts to integrate its Images from the History of Medicine database into its main online portal, NLM Digital Collections. The presenters will described the impetus behind the effort, the reasons for integrating the systems, and the technical approach that was taken to accomplish the integration.
· Confirmed Speakers: Jennifer Diffin, Head, Library Technology Services Section, National Library of Medicine (NLM) and Doron Shalvi, Systems Architect, CSRA
Exploring Every Inch of
Harrisonburg: The Robert J. Sullivan Papers
Acquired by JMU Special Collections in 2014, the Robert J. Sullivan Papers include photographs and over eleven hundred slides documenting the city of Harrisonburg, Virginia during a critical period of growth during urban renewal initiatives from the mid-to-late 20th century. While digitization of the images from this collection allowed us to share it with researchers and the local community, the process of facilitating access revealed several unexpected challenges. Quick adaptability and establishing valuable partnerships were among the many factors that allowed for the successful completion of this project.
· Confirmed Speakers: Grace L. Barth, MLIS, Head of Digital Collections, Libraries & Educational Technologies and Kate Morris, Head of Special Collections, Libraries & Educational Technologies, James Madison University
