Streamlining the Digitized Image Workflow

Abstract

The Digital Library Program strives to deliver a wide variety of materials which lend themselves to fairly unique delivery interfaces. Despite this diversity, the requirements for various image collections are common enough to allow for a more generalization and automation of the process. This presentation will include discussion of the ways in which the we've been able to streamline digitization, metadata entry, archival, discovery and delivery for digital image collections. We will show the current state of the integration of several independently developed tools and present the cases of recently started and launched collections.
