Public-Private Mass DigitizationAppearance vs. reality

They are non-exclusive deals – not really

The private partner bears all the costs not really

Institutions are free to serve the content to users not really

They are only limited term deals not really

“There’s an illusion being created that all the world’s knowledge is on the web, but we haven’t begun to glimpse what is out there in local archives and libraries. Material that is not digitized risks being neglected as it would not have been in the past, virtually lost to the great majority of potential users.” - Ed Ayers

Professor of History and Dean of the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia

– a leading authority on digital scholarship

THE OPPORTUNITY

Focus on special collections

Material that is unique or rare is in a variety of formats will only be acquired once need only be cataloged once supports our local users will be accessed by remote users

Scale up digitization to avoid marginalization

How do we achieve large-scale digitization

for Special Collections?



17

Not the way we’ve been doing it!

Special collections - Shifting Gears: Gearing Up to Get Into the Flow

Focus on access Stop selecting Do some, monitor use, do more Programs not projects Describe further up the hierarchy Emphasize quantity Discovery happens elsewhere Get funding without selling out
