Please join the Ohio Digitization Interest Group for our July in-person meeting at 10AM on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 at the State Library of Ohio to discuss vendor experiences.

Register to attend: Open until Friday July 12, 5pm, or until room capacity of 50 is reached at https://forms.gle/md36sfRr2GG6ejKj8<https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=294898829&mm=98723967047>

Topic:  Talking 'bout Vendors

In our work with digitization and digital preservation, most of us use vendors for various parts of the process—ranging from purchasing equipment, outsourcing the capture and metadata/OCR/transcription, cloud storage platforms, to discovery platforms, and more.

For this meeting we are seeking folks for lightning talks about a vendor experience, then we will break into small discussion groups focused on different types of vendor products. (Volunteer to share your experience by filling out this form for speakers by July 1:  https://forms.gle/k1ikZUegxEcqqPLQ7<https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=294900051&mm=98723967047> )

About OhioDIG: The Ohio Digitization Interest Group is an informal discussion group open to all with an interest in cultural heritage digitization, description, access, and digital preservation. https://ohiodig.org<https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=294901273&mm=98723967047>
