What we are doing
What are we doing
Put in place a strategy and unified digital library technology Adding existing listed archives to the digital environment Thinking about new archival projects that are not listed and born-digital materials Looking to automate, automate, automate Taking practical approaches, in stages
James Hardiman Library
What are we doing: Our approach: existing collections, workflow with integration
CALM (EAD) Collection, hierarchy, and
item level, a context
Algorithm Extract metadata, enrich MODS item records with
