OCLC Research Webinar: Rapid Capture in Special Collections and Archives OCLC Research Podcasts and Webinars

In this webinar, experts from special collections and archives offered up creative ways to speed up other parts of the process to provide greater access to special collections, including: nimble workflows that allow multiple streams of manuscript content to be scanned and presented online quickly; re-using archival description, or: our metadata is only as good as our descriptive practice; the quick and the good: outsourcing rapid capture of special collections; a planned destructive scanning process designed to create digitally reformatted copies that join their born-digital counterparts and are accessed and preserved as a single format; a system, paired with rapid capture, to provide access to entire folder content through the finding aid.
