Abstract
Building a new digitization program is a long, multifaceted project. Once you get institutional buy-in, ensure the infrastructure is in place, and select the equipment...what happens next? This presentation discusses a real-world approach to testing and establishing efficient imaging workflows for multiple use cases with a focus on sustainable thresholds, consistent application, and cross-institutional collaboration. It also walks through designing an overarching digitization project workflow for working with repository partners to clearly communicate expectations, generate detailed documentation, and provide a consistent, yet flexible foundation for project structures to be built on.
