These case studies from the National Library of Medicine, James Madison
University and the University of Oklahoma offer practical insights and
value!



*Digital Imaging and Preservation for Special Collections at the University
of Oklahoma Libraries*

Over a period of three years the University of Oklahoma Libraries brought a
new digitization facility for special collections materials to full working
capacity while providing substantial digitization support for a major
exhibition. The more recent focus is building capacity for metadata work,
digital preservation, and online access. Whether it is digital photography,
metadata guidebooks, or file packaging, the key to this successful new
digitization and preservation capability has been to learn, communicate,
and improve quickly and iteratively.

·      Confirmed Speaker: *Barbara Laufersweiler*, *Coordinator,
Digitization Lab and Project Manager, Knowledge Services, The University of
Oklahoma Libraries*



*Integrating Images from the History of Medicine into NLM Digital
Collections*

In this case study, the National Library of Medicine will discuss its
efforts to integrate its Images from the History of Medicine database into
its main online portal, NLM Digital Collections. The presenters will
described the impetus behind the effort, the reasons for integrating the
systems, and the technical approach that was taken to accomplish the
integration.

·      Confirmed Speakers:* Jennifer Diffin*, *Head, Library Technology
Services Section, ‎National Library of Medicine (NLM)* and *Doron
Shalvi*, *Systems
Architect, CSRA*



*Exploring Every Inch of Harrisonburg: The Robert J. Sullivan Papers*

Acquired by JMU Special Collections in 2014, the Robert J. Sullivan Papers
include photographs and over eleven hundred slides documenting the city of
Harrisonburg, Virginia during a critical period of growth during urban
renewal initiatives from the mid-to-late 20th century. While digitization
of the images from this collection allowed us to share it with researchers
and the local community, the process of facilitating access revealed
several unexpected challenges. Quick adaptability and establishing valuable
partnerships were among the many factors that allowed for the successful
completion of this project.

·      Confirmed Speakers: *Grace L. Barth*, *MLIS, Head of Digital
Collections, Libraries & Educational Technologies* and *Kate Morris*, *Head
of Special Collections, Libraries & Educational Technologies, James Madison
University*
