Case Studies Panel IV. Digitization on a Shoestring

Abstract

As cultural heritage institutions increasingly make their collections available online, even the smallest and most cash-strapped libraries and archives face the expectation to digitize from users (and administrators). Three professionals will share their insights into the challenges and rewards of building small but robust digital programs with limited resources, such as identifying an appropriate program scope, dealing with inadequate equipment and facilities, and relying on undergraduate student labor.
