Show Me Digital Collaboration

As library digitization becomes more widespread, best practices have been developed on various topics such as file size and resolution, file format, and minimum metadata standards. However, many questions remain difficult to answer, especially if your software seems limiting, your backup and storage system is subpar, or you want your resources to appear in aggregated search interfaces. What can libraries do if they want to pool their digital resources and share them more widely, but they are using different software or metadata standards? Hear how MissouriHub approached that issue. What if they want to migrate to a new software platform but aren't sure how to evaluate their options? Learn about DAIR – MOBIUS' Digitization and Institutional Repository Task Force. Also learn about Missouri Digital Heritage and some options for getting specific digitization projects off the ground.
