Item Session 2E | How it’s Going: Creating and Modifying Camera Capture Stations at Texas State University(Texas Digital Library, 2021-05-25) Mazzei, ErinIn 2017, Texas State University received a TSLAC TexTreasures Grant, funded by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, to digitize at-risk photographic negatives in the University Archives. Since then, tens of thousands of negatives and documents have been captured through the two custom camera stations purchased through this grant and a number of additional changes to the original configuration were added to help improve function. This presentation will cover the on-going development of the stations themselves, including an overview of the benefits and risks of implementing a custom camera station, as well as lessons learned.Item Session 3I | Taking Control: Our Journey to an Open Reading Landscape(Texas Digital Library, 2021-05-26) Peterson, ChristineLibraries are part of a unique moment in history which unites broad technology adoption, readily-available technical training, widespread use of the Internet, and support of openness and equitable access. Columbia University, New York University, Amigos Library Services and other institutions are using these as a base to advance open reading environments through SimplyE, an IMLS-funded project. Open source initiatives like SimplyE and open standards will allow all involved - commercial software vendors, publishers, libraries, consortia - to innovate. In this lightning talk, I will highlight progress in SimplyE within academic libraries and how it fits within the broader reading landscape.
