Item Assessing the Guidelines for Training the Trainer(Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT), 1996) Proffitt, Larry W.Item The Board of Regents Reports and Minutes digitization case study: how we did it faster, cheaper, and better(2017-05-24) Moore, Jeremy; North, Megan; Peters, Todd C.; Mazzei, Erin; Texas State UniversityAlkek Library's Digital & Web Services Department at Texas State University is digitizing the University Archives' Board of Regents Reports and Minutes collection. The collection is comprised of an estimated 45,000 pages including bound books, most of which can be unbound for rapid sheet-feed scanning, and loose-leaf onion skin pages. This presentation will describe the project lifecycle starting with why it was prioritized for digitization, the development, testing, and validation of scanning workflows using FADGI standards, and the creation of custom software to automate processes. We will also explain why our student technicians were more than happy to rescan over 700 images and why it was the best decision to make for consistency, speed, and quality.Item Saving the Byrds: Reshaping Digitization Workflows for Photographic Materials(Texas Digital Library, 2023-05-18) Ekberg, SamanthaFrom 2019 to 2022 the University of North Texas Libraries was awarded a TexTreasures grant to digitize materials from the Byrd Williams Family Photography Collection. The Collection includes film and prints documenting more than 100 years of North Texas history through four generations of photographers in the Williams family. Due to the uniqueness, fragility, and historical value of some film, it was decided the materials selected for digitization would be digitized at a higher standard than other university collections to meet partner requests. Over the multi-year project, new equipment was acquired and workflows were adjusted and customized to properly address all the uniquely sized and degraded film. The presentation will detail the customized workflow established for this collection, as well as the unique problems and solutions that arose throughout the course of the project.Item State certification for police patrol K-9 units(Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT), 2002) Krone, Steve C.Item Updating a community metadata standard: Challenges and outcomes(2016-05-25) Long, Kara; Rivero, Monica; Thompson, Santi; Potvin, Sarah; Park, Kristi; Lyon, Colleen; Baylor University; Rice University; University of Houston; Texas A&M University; Texas Digital Library; University of Texas at AustinIn 2014 the Texas Digital Library (TDL) convened a working group, charged with updating the existing descriptive metadata standard for electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs), published by TDL in 2008. The metadata working group’s report and accompanying data dictionary were released in September of 2015 (http://hdl.handle.net/2249.1/68437). The group’s mixed-methods approach to revising the standard revealed divergences between the 2008 guidelines as they were originally published and the emergent practices of librarians, repository administrators, and others involved in ETD workflows. The updated standard needed to address and recommend significant changes to the Vireo ETD Submission Management System, also developed and hosted by TDL. In this presentation, members of the TDL ETD metadata working group will discuss the effort to update the standard, with a focus on negotiating barriers to dramatic shifts in community standards. We will also discuss outstanding issues, areas of future focus, and the difficult-to-achieve balance between ease of adoption and creating an optimal descriptive metadata standard.
