Communication Forum Papers Digitization:
- Estimate 2500 pages in bound books, 300-400 pages unbound
- Document Services will scan
- Preservation Services will process the volumes prior to scanning
- Approximately 15 volumes were missing on the shelves in Dewey and will be supplemented from the Archives Collections
- Each volume has a Barton record and we will use this for the metadata - crosswalk into Dublin Core
Questions:
- Will the volumes return to the shelves at Dewey or go to storage?
- When can the scanning begin?
- Ann Marie - will you remove velobinding?
- How to identify and remove duplicates from the scanning process?
- What has to be done on the processing end of removing duplicates - ask Dewey processing (Bob)? Withdrawing items from collection.
- Does processing staff need the items to change their records prior to going to storage or is this something that Christine Moulen can help with?
Update:
10/17/08
Preservation Services received the items on Tuesday, October 14. They are almost finished with their document preparation and repairs. They will report by Tuesday, October 21st on the date that they will be complete.
10/8/08 - The circulating copies will not return to Dewey once scanned. They will be sent to storage. How do we decide if they go to LSA or Harvard?
Bob will go ahead and pull the volumes and send by mail to Preservation Services. Ann Marie & Nicole will prep for scanning. This should take anywhere from 1-2 weeks. Once the prep is completed Preservation Services will send to Jenn Morris in Document Services.
Jenn will return test volumes to Dewey today.
Prepare a spreadsheet for the volumes with the OCLC numbers. - completed 10/10/08
Change Barton status to "offsite" item process (IP). We will do this even though the items are being scanned on campus. Christine Moulen will do a global change in Barton.
