Rapid Capture: Faster Throughput in Digitization of Special Collections
This report provides examples of how to simplify and streamline digital
capture of non-book collections. Nine case studies illustrate processes
and procedures institutions have adopted to speed up digitization of
special collections. The intent in sharing these vignettes is to enable
others to consider whether or not any of the approaches could be applied
to their own initiatives to increase the scale of their digitization
efforts.
Those featured in the case studies include:
* Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution
* Archives of Traditional Music, Indiana University
* Prints & Photographs Division, Library of Congress
* Digital Collection Unit, The Bancroft Library, University of
California, Berkeley
* Southern Regional Library Facility, University of California,
Los Angeles
* Archives and Special Collections, University of Minnesota
* University Archives, University of Minnesota
* Southern Historical Collection, University of North Carolina,
and
* Department of Manuscripts and Rare Books, The Walters Art
Museum
While the report details a variety of implementations, if your
institution has or had a large-scale digitization initiative that
included rapid capture of non-book formats, we'd like to hear about it.
Please contact Ricky_Erway(a)oclc.org.
This report is the latest in a series of OCLC Research reports about how
to increase access to special collections that have resulted from our
work under the thematic focus of Mobilizing Unique Materials.
