Delivery Storage Global Integration Selection Metadata Coordination / Workflow Teaching/learning/classes.yale.edu Collaboration Library Standards Staffing Scanning Text Markup
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
