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.
The Library of Michigan collaborates with a variety of state agencies to acquire, describe, digitize, and provide access to legal material which would otherwise have very limited public accessibility. While there are some commonalities with all these projects, each collaboration and title has its own specific requirements and challenges This session will look at how we worked within CONTENTdm to create collections and metadata specific to these legal materials. We will also look at efforts taken to ensure these materials are accessible to people with visual and print disabilities.
