| Repository and support for full text and non-art images
(including maps): -- expansion of services currently offered via Insight and DL -- full-text searching and page turning for PDF and TEI docs -- cross collection search across material in different disciplines -- image databases available to the public -- bulk ingest of collections generated for faculty by AM&T ITG |
Long
term storage for user accessible digital files: -- large scale (SAN, NAS, SRB) -- centrally managed -- reasonably priced |
Cross
collection search / Global integration of content through technologies such
as OAI metadata harvesting or federated search -- how can we integrate the many projects so that our users have some hope of finding everything they might want/need? |
Collection
Development policies (who is our audience, what should we scan?): -- Selection for projects -- criteria, goals -- Selection process responsive to reader and classroom demands (increased volume) -- Selection policy for digitization of research collections *not for classes* -- Bigger Picture: Google print? What should Yale's role be? |
Metadata
production: -- tools (e.g. web based ingest tool available for use by all collections) -- definition of efficient high-volume workflow |
Workflow: -- Management of projects from conception to end -- What staff need to be involved in digitization projects -- Tracking items though the process -- Quality control -- Time/resource management: digitization requires resources throughout the process of preparation, capture, transport (of items), storage (of images) and distribution (web, cd, etc.) ... balancing expenditure and return on investment |
E-reserves: -- Assessing demand/need -- Workflow -- Number of staff, staff levels, training -- Copyright, etc. -- Storage of content for future reuse (when appropriate) |
Division
of labor between Library and ITS: -- How to present different options to faculty? -- Faculty portal for help and for coordination of numerous campus-wide options -- Need to respond to *immediate* demand for teaching images |
Metadata
standards (elements and what goes into them): -- descriptive, administrative, structural, preservation -- adherence to national standards e.g. MODS, METS -- definition of best practices that are practical and cost effective -- adequate metadata to provide a number of ways to find a particular object |
Staffing (increased need for digitization and management of all formats) | Need for Library scanning service | EAD encoding tool |
| Tracking/usage: -- a mechanism to account for use of the digital medium, be it viewing on the web, download for study use or slide production, or print-published images, in short a process for keeping track of which images are being used, and where |
Digitization of valuable collections for security purposes using advanced techniques such as hyperspectral imaging | Expanding metadata from minimal to library acceptable (e.g. data input via Personal Insight) | Coordination
across library units: -- avoid duplication of effort (how many of us are re-inventing the wheel?) |
Course
List Creation: -- Standardized syllabus to facilitate finding materials for faculty (e.g. via Classes*v2) -- Online Reading List tool providing one-stop shopping for material from any source (see POG use case #7) |
Collaboration
with faculty: -- How to encourage faculty to make greater use of available services? -- Promotion of Insight, DL and future repositories to faculty -- Find and ingest material from faculty who are not ELI participants (collection building) |
Tiered system for quality of metadata and images (based on factors such as need and expected lifecycle) | Metadata production unit: development of necessary skills and allocation of necessary staff | Need for high-volume book scanner | TEI encoding (skills and resources) | ||
| Multimedia: hardware infrastructure and reader access for digital audio, digital video, and complex data such as GIS information | Use of specialized schema such as FGDC metadata standards which include bounding coordinates that allow spatial searches for maps | Ability to offer institutional partners tools to use in joint grant projects | Digital formats standards | Need for large-format scanning | |||||||
| ILL digitization | Workflow when accessioning digitized materials created by independent units outside the library (tiers of standards) | Keeping up with hardware and software | |||||||||
| Model RFPs for outsourcing | Color management and accuracy |
