*apologies for cross-posting Call for Participants: ER&L 2017 Panel – Making Local Collections Global: Local Digitization Case Studies (working title)
In response to track 6 of the 2017 ER&L Conference Call for Proposals – “Scholarly Communication & Library publishing: Locally Digitized Materials” <https://www.electroniclibrarian.org/erlplus/tracks/> – this session seeks to present a series of impactful case studies showcasing locally designed and implemented digitization workflows that serve: - the source material - the institutional context - the target audience (scholarly or otherwise) for both the source material and the resultant digital objects Local digitization is the cornerstone of an increasingly broad digital collections landscape. Institutional efforts to digitize local collections and get them into broader access channels creates innumerable opportunities for new scholarship. Efforts to promote this content into the larger landscape are often initiated locally, relying on in-house equipment, expertise, and infrastructure. This work is being undertaken at every price point by institutions and teams of all scales and levels of experience. Please respond if you’re interested in sharing your experience developing and maintaining local digitization workflows. Relevant case studies can range from end-to-end solutions to single points of success within larger workflows, and can deal with any and all content types, scales, institutional contexts, and audiences. Also of interest are discussions of specific tools and platforms used to describe and manage digitized material, strategies for promotion and outreach, and examples of locally digitized content interacting with other collection types. ER&L 2017 CFP Track 6 Prompt: How do we deal with new models of scholarship that are emerging? How do we accommodate new forms of content? What can we do to facilitate knowledge sharing and access? What role can the library play in the creation and distribution of the products of scholarship and creativity? Some questions to think about regarding aspects of your local digitization practice that might be of interest to others grappling with use cases similar to yours: - Do you perform in-house digitization of local collections – in any format – that have historically been under served or underutilized? - Do you perform in-house digitization of heavily used local collections to create digital surrogates that will reduce the demand for handling the source material? - Has local digitization enabled you to transform the way your users interact with your content? - Do you have analytics that capture the impact of your local digitization efforts? - Are you digitizing material locally for purposes other than facilitating user-access to the content? - Do the resultant digital objects of your local digitization efforts get managed, described, delivered, and preserved alongside other content in your collections? - How are your local digitization workflows documented for internal and/or external audiences? - How do you define best practice locally? How did you arrive at those definitions? - Are local digitization efforts pursued on a cost-recovery basis, built into your operating budget, or with special funding? - How do you capture rights metadata and modulate access to restricted content?
