1. The document describes a method for the automatic extraction of suspicious regions from liver CT images using image processing techniques.
2. The method involves two phases - first, the liver region is extracted from the abdominal CT image using connected component labeling and morphological operations. Second, suspicious regions within the liver are extracted using fuzzy C-means clustering.
3. The method was tested on 11 CT abdominal images containing liver lesions and gave promising results, automatically detecting all suspicious regions within the liver. The accuracy of extraction depended on the nature and location of each individual lesion.
This document outlines the key requirements for an actor including contract work with flexible hours, income potential based on experience and training, and personal attributes such as strong communication skills, creativity, and ability to take on different roles.

Acquisition & management of digital collections at the Library of CongressNASIG
Libraries have been involved heavily in providing digital content to their patrons for many years now, largely through providing access to content hosted by publishers and aggregators. Increasingly however, libraries have been acquiring digital content itself and adding the files to their collections. The Library of Congress, as the national library and the home of the US Copyright Office, is heavily involved in this sort of digital acquisition and management. For example, over the past three years, the Library of Congress has been acquiring e-serials under the terms of the Copyright Law and adding them to its collection. Given the increasing prominence of this sort of activity in the work of libraries, as evidenced by the increased presence of NASIG presentations on this sort of topic over the past few years, it might be useful to share some of the experiences that LOC has had and lessons it has learned in this regard with its colleagues in the library community.

From Project to Program: Building Sustainable Digital Collectionsegore
The document discusses moving from digital projects to developing a sustainable digital program. Key points include:
- A digital program is long-term, mission-driven, funded, administratively supported, systematic, planned and documented compared to individual projects.
- Multiple projects centered around a common mission or theme can form the basis of a digital program with broader institutional goals.
- Developing a program requires administrative buy-in, long-term funding commitments, integration with library services, strategic planning, documentation and dedicated staffing.
- Collaboration can help provide more resources and experience to develop a program where an organization lacks capacity individually.

The assistant archivist applied for a grant to digitize a collection of Umatic tapes that comprised a news magazine run within a larger news collection. Their library had no budget for outside digitization and outdated in-house equipment. They wrote white papers describing collections to identify fundable projects. Approval was initially blocked due to concerns about the large amount of digital storage needed for the digitized content. They addressed this by educating library leadership on their work and working with digital preservation to plan sustainable storage. The grant request included funds for salaries, digitization services, a website, launch event, and one year of digital preservation for the funded content.

Navigating Access to Legacy Oral History CollectionsJessica Breiman
The J. Willard Marriott Library at the University of
Utah has a robust oral history program, with over 32
projects spanning 1 25 linear feet with topics as
varied as the first transcontinental railroad to the
Occupy Wall Street movement. Unfortunately, as
with any oral history program, providing access has
not been without its challenges. Issues have included
interviews that have inadequate waivers, missing
final drafts, nonexistent transcriptions, and
mismatched audio and transcripts. Moreover,
providing online access presented privacy, ethical
and copyright concerns. By working collaboratively
with the American West Center, legal counsel, and
IT services, the library has been able to overcome
these challenges in order to provide improved access
to our oral history collections. In this session our oral
history team will explore the above problems and
present the solutions that have enabled the
University to provide more complete access to these
one-of-a-kind treasures.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Text of Post-Digitization, Digital Preservation portion of AMIA 2015 presentation: Examining AV Enterprise at a Regional Academic Archives
1. 35
Before I get into my piece of the EXTRA grant, I have a few slides that discuss the
history of our Library’s digital preservation program as well as our current digital
preservation software system, and then I’ll go into how the EXTRA grant highlighted
some new challenges that we’ll be facing as we begin working more with audio-
visual materials.
36
I was hired in 2008 as the library’s first digital preservation archivist. As Molly
mentioned, I came from the AV Archive in Special Collections with no experience in
digital preservation. My first couple years were spent, among other things,
researching the field and then developing a high-level digital preservation policy for
our library. The scope of our policy includes Special Collections materials such as
those in the AV Archive as well as Manuscripts, Photos, Rare Books, and other
cultural heritage materials. We’re also tasked with preserving scholarly output from
faculty and other unique collections throughout the library.
Once I completed our policy, I began looking at the files we had saved on our server
already. I had to go through all the files to determine if they fit our policy and if not,
de-accession them. This took a long time, but was a necessary step to take to make
sure our actions were in keeping with the new policy and to get a handle on all our
legacy material.
2. 37
The next couple years were spent working on a few different specific digital
preservation projects. One of those was web archiving, which was spurred by the
fact that our university class catalog was no longer being printed. Special Collections
staff often receive patron requests for printouts of specific class descriptions from
decades before. However, with the catalog no longer being printed and the website
changing each semester to keep up with current offerings, we had a problem. So, we
began using the Internet Archive’s Archive-It service to crawl websites and we began
archiving the related warc files ourselves as well.
The other thing going on was our search for a digital preservation management
software system. We evaluated 4 different systems that were available at the time,
both open source and vendor-based. We finally settled on Ex Libris’ Rosetta as
being the best system for our needs.
38
After purchasing Rosetta and testing it thoroughly, we went live with it in January of
2014. So far, we’ve ingested over 70 terrabytes, mostly tiff files. Of those 70
terrabytes, only 8 are Special Collections materials, and of those 8, so far only 1
terrabyte is AV. Most of our AV files are waiting to be ingested into Rosetta along
with a huge backlog of other collection types, representing over 120 terrabytes of
archival files. Of that 120, nearly 60 is AV material.
3. 39
This is the Rosetta homepage. You can see the number of ingests (called SIPs, or
Submission Information Packages) that are currently in process in the middle aisle.
On the right, there’s a running total of all preserved files and the total size of the
archive.
40
Now, finally, to EXTRA! As Molly mentioned, the grant created over 11 terrabytes of
video. Those files are currently stored on a 4 node QC208 Qumulo cluster NAS. Our
System Administrators create quarterly tape backups that are stored in Perpetual
Storage, a granite storage vault in the side of a mountain near Salt Lake City. We’re
hoping to add a 3rd storage instance in the future so that we can increase
redundancy and meet the minimum requirements for true digital preservation
according to the Open Archival Information System (or OAIS) model.
As I mentioned before, the EXTRA tapes have not yet been ingested into our Digital
Archive because there are some collection organization decisions we still need to
make with Molly and Jessica before ingestion.
4. 41
So, I think the biggest thing that the EXTRA grant opened our eyes to is the question
of sustainability. Up until then, we’d been working mainly with image and text
documents and size hadn’t become too big an issue. We’ve been storing AV
materials for a few years, but they were mainly kept under the radar, meaning, I
knew Molly had an increasing need for space on our archival server, but no one had
really come up with a document that spelled out just how large the need for AV
preservation was, especially keeping in mind that the magnetic media in the
collection was rapidly deteriorating.
So, while the data grew, we weren’t paying much attention to the numbers and rate
of growth and what that would mean in the long term. Once we realized how much
space AV Archives really needed in order to preserve even just the highest risk items
in their collection, we realized that our program was really not very sustainable. Right
now we don’t even have a dedicated budget line for the Digital Archive. We just
scramble every few years for more server space and funds to hire staff whenever we
can. In fact, our digital preservation program has consisted of just one person, me,
until we recently hired someone to work directly with Rosetta. Now we have a robust
staff of TWO!
So, as we look at ways to become more sustainable, we need to figure out how
much material the AV Archive needs to digitize for preservation, as well as estimate
their rate of growth and what that means for the Digital Archive.
When it came to EXTRA, the grant paid for a year’s worth of preservation and that’s
it. So we are currently looking into ways to pay for these activities, including offering
digital preservation services to smaller institutions in the area for a fee.

So, after discovering the many challenges that came from EXTRA, we’ve focused
our efforts on a few projects that we hope will help us create a better digital
preservation program.

The first project to come from the EXTRA experience was a joint IT and AV Archive
pilot project to assess AV collections for digital preservation. In the pilot, using my
background as a film archivist, I spent a couple months evaluating a high-risk, high-
value collection for preservation. Acknowledging that we will never have enough
money or staff to digitize and preserve everything we have, we need a good system
for evaluating which items in a collection should be digitized, and what the priority
should be. One of the rules of the pilot was that I couldn’t view items unless they
were completely unlabeled. This was due to the sheer number of items that needed
to be evaluated. So, I relied on titles and some other specific collection information to
create a spreadsheet detailing the collection.
From there, the idea was to prioritize items for digitization based on format and
subject as well as to make sure we had marked which titles appeared in other
collections. Diane Orr, the filmmaker whose collection I was evaluating, also worked
for EXTRA during part of her career, so some of the items in her collection would
have already been digitized as part of the EXTRA grant and we wanted to make sure
we didn’t digitize titles twice.
We’re currently looking at continuing the pilot in a phase two to continue the
evaluation criteria at the collection, rather than item, level.

Another project spurred by EXTRA was the lossless compression working group.
This group is currently active and we’re in the phase, with the help of programmers
in IT, of testing some batch processing scripts to convert our uncompressed video to
FFV1. We’d love to hear from folks who are using FFV1 or other codecs in their
archives as we’re really new to this.

As we look into ways to make our program more useful and relevant, we’re
beginning to realize that not everything needs the same level of preservation, For
instance, Molly and Jessica recently got a new 16mm print of the Utah independent
filmmaker, Trent Harris’ film “Plan 10 From Outerspace”. Along with the new print,
which is housed in our cold storage vault, they received a digital copy of the film. The
16mm print is the archival master, so do we need to fully preserve a digital master of
something like that as well?
We’ve decided, mainly due to funding issues, that some items may not need the
highest level of digital preservation. For those items, we will commit to bit-level
preservation. We haven’t worked out all the policy level specifics yet, but we think
bit-level preservation will include maintaining onsite and offsite backup copies, virus
checking, fixity-checking, and periodic refreshment by copying files to new storage
media. In other words, maintaining the integrity of the original file for later
dissemination.
Bit-level preservation would also be appropriate for files given to us in a highly
compressed format as well items already held in other digital archives.

Finally, as I mentioned before, the biggest obstacle to our program is sustainability.
We need to come up with ways to offer our services to campus and community.
We’re already working closely with the State of Utah’s Department of Heritage and
Arts as we are ingesting their collections into Rosetta. We do this for a yearly fee and
those funds are funneled back into the program, helping with hardware costs. We’re
also looking into the possibility of offering Rosetta services to other libraries in
exchange for a fee to help sustain our yearly software fees. Really, though, true
sustainability of our program will have to come at the University level. This will
require work not only from my department, but also the Library Dean.
And that’s it for me. Molly’s gonna give a brief conclusion before we open for
questions!
