How to Survive Your Digitization Project

摘要

Many libraries have undertaken digitization projects without realizing the full scope of the effort required until mistakes are compounded, money is gone, and patience is exhausted.

This session demonstrates how digitizing a collection can be a success for your library, its local patrons, and even a worldwide community of users through proper organization and adherence to certain sound principles. A well-designed process is much more important than a large budget or extensive technical expertise, and even the smallest library can digitally preserve and share local resources.
