<p class="MsoNormal">In preparation for our session at the SOA Spring meeting, we would like to hear your thoughts on how your institution does or does not work with individuals to digitize collections. The survey will only take about 5-10 minutes. See: <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/P8X3LDJ">https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/P8X3LDJ</a>
Please complete the survey by noon on Wednesday, May 14<sup>th</sup>. Thank you!

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Digitizing Small Institutional and Community Colllections; or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Scannabago<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Presenters: Aaron O’Donovan and Angela O’Neal, Columbus Metropolitan Library<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Columbus Memory is a collaborative project between the Columbus Metropolitan Library and the Columbus Historical Society providing access to thousands of images, primary documents, maps, and artifacts about Columbus, Ohio. Aaron O’Donovan
and Angela O’Neal will discuss the Columbus Memory Project and the opportunities to help smaller institutions and community members digitize their collections both in house and “on the road.” Panelists will discuss the caveats of creating these partnerships
and the work that it entails. Topics to be described include: selection, criteria, metadata requirements, technical specifications, and outreach efforts to individuals and organizations. Panelists will also explain how to say “no” to certain items, and
the operation of a “Digitization Road Show.” Participants will have the opportunity to discuss real work examples of possible items for digitization.<o:p></o:p></p>
