User Directed Scrapbook Digitization
Shannon Willis, Marcia McIntosh
University of North Texas, United States of America
 
The Digital Projects Unit at the University of North Texas worked to understand user preferences in the digitization of scrapbooks.

Barbara Laufersweiler
University of Oklahoma Libraries, United States of America
 
For early books, somewhere between simple image display and multispectral imaging, between metadata searches and virtual reality, there are practical, low-cost, high-impact practices available for digitization and digital collections. I will present examples and recommendations that can open these works to new scholarship and new engagement.
