The 2nd Upper Midwest Digital Collections Conference (#UMDCC16) will take place August 9-11th, 2016 at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa (Quad Cities). The UMDCC provides opportunities for digital collections creators and curators in the region and beyond to network, share best practices, participate in hands-on workshops, and learn from leaders in digital cultural heritage. The conference will be held jointly with the 2016 CONTENTdm User Group Meeting, sponsored by OCLC, on August 10-11th.
Digital materials are quickly becoming a regular part of content we need to manage for the long-term. Most of us do not have one master tool or application to use to complete all actions necessary for our work; we rely on a larger suite of available tools. In this session, walk through the life cycle of a digital object and use tools to address various issues including how to capture information to create an inventory, collect metadata, transfer files, address inconsistencies and duplicates, and monitor fixity/stability over time. Time will allow for the use of tools with a sample set of files.
Note: You must be registered to attend this workshop. All workshops have a $35.00 fee.
