Notas do Editor
- Such as TTP and Mss items, like the Lindisfarne Gospels
- Top Priority - digitisation of newspapers 20 million pages of 19 th Century literature 1 million pages of historic newspapers in addition to the 3m already digitised; 4,000 hours of Archival Sound Recordings in addition to the 4,000 hours already digitised; 100,000 pages of Greek manuscripts
- projects in partnership with publishers, external funding bodies and other sponsors and donors, technology providers, user communities and other content holders. Full costs of the project cost of access, delivery and sustainability. Assess each proposal in terms of: Our drivers for digitisation; Business models, IP and copyright issues, and access to content (through the Library’s Digitisation and Web Monitoring Group); Operational viability, technical standards, outputs and preservation issues
- 163,992 images in IDP Database (Dec 2008) X books available in reading rooms for Microsoft Books
- Microsoft Digitisation – 25 million pages in TIFF format = 1.2 PB Standards for Master files in large scale digitisation projects OCR Accuracy - Burney Newspapers 40% to 50% word
- Burney: 1,100 volumes of the earliest known newspapers 1,000,000 pages Purchased in 1818 for £13,500 Digitised from the microfilm This is a common scenario for many Libraries and means that the long-term management of the surrogates takes on a more important aspect. Both of these surrogates have their own problems in terms of deterioration and risk and lend themselves to further analysis.
- 20 million pages, or roughly 80,000 books
- Risk Analysis Build an accurate view of digital assets, provide evidence to prioritise activities Cover physical media, software environments, disk- and file-formats Highlight: 3% of optical media have unreadable files DLP Digital Preservation Project Ensure that DLP exploits new methods and technology Provide expertise DP Change Manager Ensure that Library processes support long-term access to digital content Review and adjust content handling processes Content Stabilisation Project Stabliise legacy content on handheld media; make it ready for DLP Address media failure; damaged items, poor or inconsistent packaging Technology watch Keep up-to-date on file formats, preservation tools and technology E.g. Disk imaging, checksum
