KCAA 2008 Fall Symposium

Go Online with your Digital Collections

Friday, September 26, 2008, 1PM-5PM, followed by a tour of the Linda Hall Library digitization lab
Auditorium, Linda Hall Library, 5109 Cherry Street, Kansas City, MO 64110-2498

Program
Our program will present speakers from four institutions which have digitized portions of their research collections and put them online. They’ll describe how and why they chose a particular web presentation option (e.g., ContentDM or ARCHON or custom-designed HTML, etc.), and discuss what benefits and problems were encountered during implementation.

Each speaker will show us their digital collection web site/pages and describe what selection criteria were used to decide upon its presentation. What purpose does it satisfy? Why this choice instead of another? What benefits and problems did their selection present? What are its costs? How do they handle image and content copyright and fair use of their web site? What about security? Are they satisfied with the choices they made? What do they recommend for archives, museums, and libraries who’d like to put their research collections online too?
