#s402 — Public Fediverse posts

An audience question inspires a conversation on whether to locate the content warning in the digital library on the bottom, which is typical, or at the top before seeing the object which gives a chance not to look. #s402 #mac24 #metadata

I asked if there were other cool things they've seen that have been made possible from #iiif interoperability with Universal Viewer with an example of combining the display of oral histories with archival photos. Digital Exhibitions have been the main use so far. #mac24 #s402 #archives #UniversalViewer #DigitalLibrary

U. Minnesota's digital library is Content DM with a homegrown Universal Viewer built with Ruby as the display end. They're moving to Blacklight soon. #s402 #mac24 #digitalLibraries #archives #digitalLibraries

Seeing an example of how they're linking together a manuscript letter with the recipient's response at another institution using #IIIF and Universal Viewer. From item level description to metadata to Universal Viewer. Three steps to access. #s402 #mac24 #mac2024 #archives #UniversalViewer

Ooh. Now hearing about how U. Minnesota moved along to Universal Viewer for digital library display. I'm signed up for a #IIIF workshop this summer. Excited to learn more. I like how the objects display and Zoom. #mac24 #s402 #archives

"Digitization need are re-processing priorities." Digitization revealed needs for changes in finding aid hierarchy. Beefing up abstracts in the finding aids because of how they map to the needed digital library metadata and adding reparative description needed for noting sensitive materials both inspire archival reprocessing when digitizing. #mac24 #s402 #archives #Digitization #metadata

Newspaper clippings collections and diaries were reprocessed. Needed dates. The digital version of the newspaper clippings will likely become the primary format accessed in the future. #s402 #mac24

After some terrific posters, next up is #S402: Good Things Come in Threes: Building a Digital Collection at the University of Minnesota. #mac24
