Best Practices for Managing Digitized and Born Digital Scholarly and Cultural Resources

Abstract

Libraries of all types and sizes have taken on the role of digitizing unique local analog collections and preserving born digital collections for long-term access by the general public. The session will describe two case studies which illustrate the best practices associated with digitizing an analog collection (Mouseion: The Journal of the Classical Association of Canada) for Project Muse and managing and preserving a collection of born digital electronic theses.
