[Carleton, Janet]

Please join the Ohio Digitization Interest Group on our September meeting at the Columbus Metro Main Library on Thursday, September 29, 2016.
Presentation: "Making it count: Possibilities, challenges and current practices in assessing cultural heritage digitization"
- Speakers:
- Emily Shaw (The Ohio State University)
- Marcus Ladd (Miami University)
- Barb Sedlock (Defiance College)
- Tanya Maus (Peace Resource Center, Wilmington College)
- Synopsis: How can we assess the impact of our digitization activities? How can we assert the value and justify the resources needed to create, preserve and provide access to digitized collections? This session will look at the possibilities, challenges and current practices for assessing the value and impact of digitization and digital collections in libraries, archives, museums and other cultural heritage organizations. Panelists will provide an overview of the methods, metrics and current work in this area, present the aggregate results from the most recent OhioDIG Digital Collections Analytics Survey, and review some of our institutions' real digitized collections with any eye toward assessment. There will be lots of time for open discussion.
