Elings Archivist for Digital Collections The Bancroft Library More Product, Less Process • Principles for Change – Maximize user access (preeminent goal) – Golden minimum “good enough” is realistic – Arrange and describe at a common, aggregate level – Reserve exceptional effort only when warranted – Accomplish more by trying to do less

Elings Archivist for Digital Collections The Bancroft Library More Product, Less Process • Principles for Change – Maximize user access (preeminent goal) – Golden minimum “good enough” digitization is realistic – Arrange, describe and digitize at a common, aggregate level – Reserve exceptional digitization effort only when warranted – Accomplish more digitization by trying to do less (my own co-opted version!)
- 7. Mary W. Elings Archivist for Digital Collections The Bancroft Library Planning Goals – Apply MPLP to digitization workflow • Use extant metadata to group and describe compound objects in automated way • Scan at low cost, get more done for less • Use microfilm to avoid high end scanning of originals – Develop a workflow that would accommodate CDM access and CDL access • Increase access via multiple portals, avoid content silo • Transform compound CDM to complex METS objects • Develop workflow path for others to follow

- 14. Mary W. Elings Archivist for Digital Collections The Bancroft Library More Product, Less Process Access (preeminent goal) • CONTENTdm at UoP and OAC/Calisphere (and beyond) Good enough • Grayscale scans of microfilm vs. full color of originals • Used extant metadata and vendor transcription Aggregate level description and grouping • Based on extant metadata cards, no item level Exceptional effort only when warranted • Secondary source material, not originals, so not warranted Accomplish more with less • More letters, greater access, less cost, and new shareable workflow model
