When you send materials to a vendor for archival digitization or microfilming, it may be the furthest thing from your mind to consider that the original material may need, in some way, to be altered prior to capture. While these occasions are rare, it can happen. But, we promise – this isn’t the first chapter of a librarian’s horror story.

关于我们
It's all about access. Libraries, museums, and archives have collections whose greatest value is found when those materials can be discovered and viewed by patrons and researchers. These institutions are also charged with preserving collections for future access. Backstage Library Works provides professional services to cultural heritage institutions to help open and expand pathways to access in their collections. Services range from cataloging and non-MARC metadata to digitization and microfilming, from authority control and record enrichment to on-site inventory, reclassification, and RFID tagging. Backstage offers technology, expertise, and manpower that enable librarians and archivists to accomplish their goals.

Authority control connects resources and makes them discoverable to users. Why is that important, and what happens when we ignore authority control? And, what does Snoop Dogg and Aqualad have to do with anything? https://lnkd.in/e9ca-bm8

The month has been filled with little celebrations, from our annual Christmas gift tradition to enjoying attractions in our community - a train ride through scenic Jim Thorpe in Pennsylvania and a visit to the Hale Center Theater Orem to see A Christmas Carol.? We wish all of our partner libraries and staff a wonderful week; may your time with family and friends be full and safe travels into the new year.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR), for those who are new to digitization, is the conversion of text in images to something machine-readable. When your DAM supports searching through OCR metadata, the discoverability of your resources increase dramatically.? How does it work, and which materials have the best conversions?? https://lnkd.in/eRZNV6di #ocr #digitization #metadata #digitalmetadata

Typically, the film is attached to a leader within the cartridge. So, how do you go about duplicating it without destroying it? Learn more on our blog!
