Put your collections at their fingertips. Your institution faces
increasing challenges daily. How can you best preserve your collections
for future audiences? How can you be assured that your digital practices
are based on the best possible information? How can you make sure your
staff has the most current and timely training in a rapidly
changing technology environment? LYRASIS can help. We understand how
important it is to use the best possible tools for your digitization
projects. We are here to show you new technologies and products, share
experience and best practices from leading practitioners in the field
and train your staff to expertly plan, create and preserve your digital
files.
Before you start on a digital project, take the time to assess your
purpose, your audience, the collections to be digitized, and
opportunities the project offers. Use the “Getting Started
Questionnaire” to find a list of questions to consider when designing
any digitization project, and use the resources in digitization and other sections in this toolbox to help create guidelines at your institution.
