&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The metadata standards document is continually updated. The most current [[http://wiki.ubc.ca/images/5/5b/Metadata_Manual_Edited_2016_11_21.pdf | Metadata Manual document]], from November 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This workstation uses a Sinar 86H camera back and digital CMV lenses. It is used for newspapers, oversize items, delicate materials, and miscellaneous documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;ATIZ Bookdrive Pro Cradle Scanners&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The scanners use Canon EOS 5D MKIII bodies and 50mm, 100mm and 24-70mm lenses for image capture. The cradle scanners are used for bound books and magazines, as well as for anything up to standard newspaper size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fujitsu fi-6670A Double-sided Document Scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (3)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for unbound or disbound documents and large-volume scanning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Contex HD5450 Wide Format CCD Scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for maps, newspapers, posters, and other oversize items.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Epson Perfection V750-M Pro flatbed scanner with standard platen&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Epson Expression 10000XL flatbed scanner with large platen&#039;&#039;&#039; (2)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for scanning photographs and delicate unbound material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;nextScan FlexScan 3-in-1 microform scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (2)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for scanning from microform format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Canon EOS 5D MKII DSLR Body with 24-70 Lens&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The metadata standards document is continually updated. The most current [[http://wiki.ubc.ca/images/5/5b/Metadata_Manual_Edited_2016_11_21.pdf| Metadata Manual document]], from November 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This workstation uses a Sinar 86H camera back and digital CMV lenses. It is used for newspapers, oversize items, delicate materials, and miscellaneous documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;ATIZ Bookdrive Pro Cradle Scanners&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The scanners use Canon EOS 5D MKIII bodies and 50mm, 100mm and 24-70mm lenses for image capture. The cradle scanners are used for bound books and magazines, as well as for anything up to standard newspaper size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fujitsu fi-6670A Double-sided Document Scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (3)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Used for scanning from microform format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Canon EOS 5D MKII DSLR Body with 24-70 Lens&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current [[http://wiki.ubc.ca/images/5/5b/Metadata_Manual_Edited_2016_11_21.pdf|Metadata Manual document]], from November 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This workstation uses a Sinar 86H camera back and digital CMV lenses. It is used for newspapers, oversize items, delicate materials, and miscellaneous documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;ATIZ Bookdrive Pro Cradle Scanners&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The scanners use Canon EOS 5D MKIII bodies and 50mm, 100mm and 24-70mm lenses for image capture. The cradle scanners are used for bound books and magazines, as well as for anything up to standard newspaper size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual Edited 2016 11 21.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual 2016 11 21]] document, from November 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual 2016 11 21.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual 2016 11 21]] document, from November 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;

	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual Edited 2016 11 21.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual 2016 11 21]] document, from November 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Used for scanning from microform format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Canon EOS 5D MKII DSLR Body with 24-70 Lens&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[http://wiki.ubc.ca/images/5/5b/Metadata_Manual_Edited_2016_11_21.pdf|Metadata Manual 2016 11 21]] document, from November 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This workstation uses a Sinar 86H camera back and digital CMV lenses. It is used for newspapers, oversize items, delicate materials, and miscellaneous documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;ATIZ Bookdrive Pro Cradle Scanners&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The scanners use Canon EOS 5D MKIII bodies and 50mm, 100mm and 24-70mm lenses for image capture. The cradle scanners are used for bound books and magazines, as well as for anything up to standard newspaper size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fujitsu fi-6670A Double-sided Document Scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (3)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Used for scanning from microform format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Canon EOS 5D MKII DSLR Body with 24-70 Lens&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[http://wiki.ubc.ca/images/5/5b/Metadata_Manual_Edited_2016_11_21.pdf]] document, from November 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This workstation uses a Sinar 86H camera back and digital CMV lenses. It is used for newspapers, oversize items, delicate materials, and miscellaneous documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;ATIZ Bookdrive Pro Cradle Scanners&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The scanners use Canon EOS 5D MKIII bodies and 50mm, 100mm and 24-70mm lenses for image capture. The cradle scanners are used for bound books and magazines, as well as for anything up to standard newspaper size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fujitsu fi-6670A Double-sided Document Scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (3)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for unbound or disbound documents and large-volume scanning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Contex HD5450 Wide Format CCD Scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for maps, newspapers, posters, and other oversize items.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Epson Perfection V750-M Pro flatbed scanner with standard platen&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Epson Expression 10000XL flatbed scanner with large platen&#039;&#039;&#039; (2)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for scanning photographs and delicate unbound material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;nextScan FlexScan 3-in-1 microform scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (2)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for scanning from microform format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Canon EOS 5D MKII DSLR Body with 24-70 Lens&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual Edited 2016 11 21.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual Edited 2016 11 21]] document, from May 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This workstation uses a Sinar 86H camera back and digital CMV lenses. It is used for newspapers, oversize items, delicate materials, and miscellaneous documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;ATIZ Bookdrive Pro Cradle Scanners&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The scanners use Canon EOS 5D MKIII bodies and 50mm, 100mm and 24-70mm lenses for image capture. The cradle scanners are used for bound books and magazines, as well as for anything up to standard newspaper size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Canon EOS 5D MKII DSLR Body with 24-70 Lens&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual 2016 5 19.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual]] document, from May 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This workstation uses a Sinar 86H camera back and digital CMV lenses. It is used for newspapers, oversize items, delicate materials, and miscellaneous documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;ATIZ Bookdrive Pro Cradle Scanners&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The scanners use Canon EOS 5D MKIII bodies and 50mm, 100mm and 24-70mm lenses for image capture. The cradle scanners are used for bound books and magazines, as well as for anything up to standard newspaper size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fujitsu fi-6670A Double-sided Document Scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (3)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Used for scanning from microform format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Canon EOS 5D MKII DSLR Body with 24-70 Lens&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual 2016 5 19.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual]] document, from May 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This workstation uses a Sinar 86H camera back and digital CMV lenses. It is used for newspapers, oversize items, delicate materials, and miscellaneous documents.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual 2016 5 19.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual]] document, from May 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;

	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual 2016 5 19.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual]] document, from May 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual 2016 5 19.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual]] document, from May 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This workstation uses a Sinar 86H camera back and digital CMV lenses. It is used for newspapers, oversize items, delicate materials, and miscellaneous documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;ATIZ Bookdrive Pro Cradle Scanners&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The scanners use Canon EOS 5D MKIII bodies and 50mm, 100mm and 24-70mm lenses for image capture. The cradle scanners are used for bound books and magazines, as well as for anything up to standard newspaper size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fujitsu fi-6670A Double-sided Document Scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (3)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Used for scanning from microform format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Canon EOS 5D MKII DSLR Body with 24-70 Lens&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual 2016 5 19.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual]] document, from May 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This workstation uses a Sinar 86H camera back and digital CMV lenses. It is used for newspapers, oversize items, delicate materials, and miscellaneous documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;ATIZ Bookdrive Pro Cradle Scanners&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The scanners use Canon EOS 5D MKIII bodies and 50mm, 100mm and 24-70mm lenses for image capture. The cradle scanners are used for bound books and magazines, as well as for anything up to standard newspaper size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fujitsu fi-6670A Double-sided Document Scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (3)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for unbound or disbound documents and large-volume scanning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Contex HD5450 Wide Format CCD Scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for maps, newspapers, posters, and other oversize items.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Epson Perfection V750-M Pro flatbed scanner with standard platen&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Epson Expression 10000XL flatbed scanner with large platen&#039;&#039;&#039; (2)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for scanning photographs and delicate unbound material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;nextScan FlexScan 3-in-1 microform scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (2)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for scanning from microform format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Canon EOS 5D MKII DSLR Body with 24-70 Lens&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual 2016 5 19.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual]] document, from May 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This workstation uses a Sinar 86H camera back and digital CMV lenses. It is used for newspapers, oversize items, delicate materials, and miscellaneous documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;ATIZ Bookdrive Pro Cradle Scanners&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The scanners use Canon EOS 5D MKIII bodies and 50mm, 100mm and 24-70mm lenses for image capture. The cradle scanners are used for bound books and magazines, as well as for anything up to standard newspaper size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Canon EOS 5D MKII DSLR Body with 24-70 Lens&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual 2016 5 19.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual]] document, from May 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This workstation uses a Sinar 86H camera back and digital CMV lenses. It is used for newspapers, oversize items, delicate materials, and miscellaneous documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;ATIZ Bookdrive Pro Cradle Scanners&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The scanners use Canon EOS 5D MKIII bodies and 50mm, 100mm and 24-70mm lenses for image capture. The cradle scanners are used for bound books and magazines, as well as for anything up to standard newspaper size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Used for scanning from microform format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Canon EOS 5D MKII DSLR Body with 24-70 Lens&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual 2016 5 19.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual]] document, from May 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual 2016 5 19.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual]] document, from May 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual 2016 5 19.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual]] document, from May 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual 2016 5 19.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual]] document, from May 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This workstation uses a Sinar 86H camera back and digital CMV lenses. It is used for newspapers, oversize items, delicate materials, and miscellaneous documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;ATIZ Bookdrive Pro Cradle Scanners&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The scanners use Canon EOS 5D MKIII bodies and 50mm, 100mm and 24-70mm lenses for image capture. The cradle scanners are used for bound books and magazines, as well as for anything up to standard newspaper size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fujitsu fi-6670A Double-sided Document Scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (3)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for unbound or disbound documents and large-volume scanning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Contex HD5450 Wide Format CCD Scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for maps, newspapers, posters, and other oversize items.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Epson Perfection V750-M Pro flatbed scanner with standard platen&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Epson Expression 10000XL flatbed scanner with large platen&#039;&#039;&#039; (2)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for scanning photographs and delicate unbound material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;nextScan FlexScan 3-in-1 microform scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (2)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for scanning from microform format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Canon EOS 5D MKII DSLR Body with 24-70 Lens&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual 2016 5 19.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual]] document, from May 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This workstation uses a Sinar 86H camera back and digital CMV lenses. It is used for newspapers, oversize items, delicate materials, and miscellaneous documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;ATIZ Bookdrive Pro Cradle Scanners&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The scanners use Canon EOS 5D MKIII bodies and 50mm, 100mm and 24-70mm lenses for image capture. The cradle scanners are used for bound books and magazines, as well as for anything up to standard newspaper size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fujitsu fi-6670A Double-sided Document Scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (3)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for unbound or disbound documents and large-volume scanning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Contex HD5450 Wide Format CCD Scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for maps, newspapers, posters, and other oversize items.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Epson Perfection V750-M Pro flatbed scanner with standard platen&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Epson Expression 10000XL flatbed scanner with large platen&#039;&#039;&#039; (2)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for scanning photographs and delicate unbound material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;nextScan FlexScan 3-in-1 microform scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (2)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for scanning from microform format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Canon EOS 5D MKII DSLR Body with 24-70 Lens&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual 2016 5 19.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual]] document, from May 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

This eclectic collection contains ancient and remarkable papyri and cuneiform tablets from the University of British Columbia Library’s Rare Books and Special Collections. The two Greek papyri in this collection likely originate from Roman Egypt and date from the second century AD. The cuneiform tablets in this collection were discovered at Ur in Chaldea, and date from 2456-2390 BCE. See our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/uncategorized/discover-lost-ancient-egyptian-papyri/ blog post] for more information. &lt;br /&gt;

The Arkley Croquet Image collection contains paintings, illustrations, engravings, advertisements, photographs and other ephemera depicting the game of croquet, dating from the 1850’s to the 1950’s. The images range from fine art to cartoons and everything in between, and show the rise in the game’s popularity in England and America in the 19th and 20th centuries. The collection offers a fascinating glimpse at gender roles, as croquet was one of the first games that men and women played together.&lt;br /&gt;

The Arkley Croquet Collection is fascinating for croquet aficionados, but also for scholars and the general public interested in subject matters like art, advertisement and gender roles from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century. This project is to process, describe and digitize selections from the latest accrual from Tremaine Arkley.  Approximately 300 items were processed, and described.  Approximately 100 items were digitized according to copyright restrictions and included in the existing digital collection. See our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/digitizers-blog/celebrating-the-tremaine-arkley-croquet-collection blog post] for more information.&lt;br /&gt;

The &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Discorder&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; has been published continuously from February 1983 to the present with 352 issues as of May 2014 and provides in-depth coverage of the Vancouver music scene. It is the longest running independent music magazine in Vancouver is a valuable and comprehensive resource for local music history. Coverage includes articles, reviews, photos, features, interviews, advertisements and more. In recent years the &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Discorder&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; has extended its scope to include coverage of local artists, books, films and other cultural materials. While the &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Discorder&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; has featured countless album and concert reviews of artists from outside of Vancouver its real value lies in its exhaustive documentation of 30+ years of music and culture unique to the city. The extensive nature of the &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Discorder&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; coverage, especially of the lesser known aspects of Vancouver’s independent arts and culture scene, is found virtually nowhere else.&lt;br /&gt;

In 1959, UBC professor Ho Ping-ti negotiated the acquisition of the world-class Puban Collection, whose 45,000 hand stitched volumes span Chinese literature, history and thought from the 12th to the 19th centuries. The core of the Puban 蒲坂藏書was originally a part of the famed Nanzhou Shu Lou 南州書樓, a large private library owned by Xu Shaoqi 徐紹棨 (1879–1948), a professor of Chinese literature and bibliography, curator of the Sun Yat-sen Library of Guangdong Province. The Sun Yat-sen Library of Guangdong Province was funded partially by Chinese Canadians in early 20th century, and it now holds many valuable titles from its first curator, Mr. Xu. The provincial librarians have been working closely with UBC Library on collaborative virtual reference services in the past a few years, and now on digitizing selected rare books on the province from Puban Collection.

BC Historical Books project is to build a single searchable database of the bibliography of British Columbia based on full-text searchable versions of the books contained therein. The result will allow scholars, students and the public unparalleled access to knowledge about our province. The 160 works which seeded this digital collection were contributed by: University of British Columbia Library, Legislative Library of BC, Royal BC Museum and Archives, Simon Fraser University Library, University of Northern British Columbia Library, University of Victoria Libraries, and Vancouver Public Library. The University of British Columbia Library continues to add to the project from its Rare Books &amp;amp; Special Collections holdings.&lt;br /&gt;

The BC Historical Newspapers project features digitized versions of historical papers from around the province. The titles, which range from the Abbotsford Post to Westward Ho!, date from 1865 to 1994. Enhancing access to this valuable information encourages the study of B.C. history and brings research material to historians across British Columbia and beyond. B.C. Historical Newspapers is in it’s final phase of development.&lt;br /&gt;

B.C. Sessional Papers is a project proposes to continue work completed in the first and second phases of project by digitizing the next selection of the British Columbia Sessional Papers. We will be digitizing 41 bound volumes from the Legislative Library’s collection and making them accessible and keyword searchable via UBC Library’s CONTENTdm platform.The Sessional Papers contain unique materials that document the political, historical economic and cultural history of British Columbia. The Sessional Papers include official committee reports, orders of the day, petitions and papers presented records of land sales, correspondence, budgetary estimates, proclamations, maps, voters’ lists by district, and departmental annual reports. We anticipate that the resulting digital collection will be of interest to researchers and scholars in the fields of history, political science and other interdisciplinary studies. &lt;br /&gt;

This project is centered around a collection of largely Edo-period (1615-1868) material focusing on The One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each (Hyakunin isshu, hereafter HNIS) poetry collection, edited by the famous poet and scholar Fujiwara no Teika (1162-1241). This project is part of a larger project with Professor Joshua Mostow of the Department of Asian Studies and Shirin Eshghi of UBC’s Asian Library to digitize materials. Phase 2 of the One Hundred Poets project will digitize around 70 items, including 50 books and 19 woodblock prints. Phase 2 will focus on metadata enrichment for existing collection which will make the collection easier to search and access.

The Japanese-Canadian newspaper &amp;quot;Tairiku Nippō&amp;quot; (Continental Daily News) was published in Vancouver between 1907 and 1941. The paper, predominantly written in Japanese, was an important source of information for Japanese immigrants to British Columbia. The Nippō sheds light on the Japanese-Canadian community previous to the internment of Japanese Canadians during World War II.&lt;br /&gt;

The Arkley Croquet Image collection contains paintings, illustrations, engravings, advertisements, photographs and other ephemera depicting the game of croquet, dating from the 1850’s to the 1950’s. The images range from fine art to cartoons and everything in between, and show the rise in the game’s popularity in England and America in the 19th and 20th centuries. The collection offers a fascinating glimpse at gender roles, as croquet was one of the first games that men and women played together.&lt;br /&gt;

The &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Discorder&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; has been published continuously from February 1983 to the present with 352 issues as of May 2014 and provides in-depth coverage of the Vancouver music scene. It is the longest running independent music magazine in Vancouver is a valuable and comprehensive resource for local music history. Coverage includes articles, reviews, photos, features, interviews, advertisements and more. In recent years the &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Discorder&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; has extended its scope to include coverage of local artists, books, films and other cultural materials. While the &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Discorder&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; has featured countless album and concert reviews of artists from outside of Vancouver its real value lies in its exhaustive documentation of 30+ years of music and culture unique to the city. The extensive nature of the &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Discorder&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; coverage, especially of the lesser known aspects of Vancouver’s independent arts and culture scene, is found virtually nowhere else.&lt;br /&gt;

The maps, printed in black &amp;amp; white, use symbols to show lot-by-lot land use according to 64 categories, such as residential, industrial, commercial, etc. As frequent use over the years has caused the maps to deteriorate, it is imperative that we take measures now to preserve them digitally and make the images publicly available.&lt;br /&gt;

This project is part of a larger project with Professor Joshua Mostow of the Department of Asian Studies and Shirin Eshghi of UBC’s Asian Library to digitize materials, create a database, as well as host seminars and exhibits. These works once digitized will complement the Library’s other major Japanese digital collection, the Beans Tokugawa Map Collection—one of the three most important collections of Edo-period Japanese maps in the world.

In 1959, UBC professor Ho Ping-ti negotiated the acquisition of the world-class Puban Collection, whose 45,000 hand stitched volumes span Chinese literature, history and thought from the 12th to the 19th centuries. The core of the Puban 蒲坂藏書was originally a part of the famed Nanzhou Shu Lou 南州書樓, a large private library owned by Xu Shaoqi 徐紹棨 (1879–1948), a professor of Chinese literature and bibliography, curator of the Sun Yat-sen Library of Guangdong Province. The Sun Yat-sen Library of Guangdong Province was funded partially by Chinese Canadians in early 20th century, and it now holds many valuable titles from its first curator, Mr. Xu. The provincial librarians have been working closely with UBC Library on collaborative virtual reference services in the past a few years, and now on digitizing selected rare books on the province from Puban Collection.

B.C. Sessional Papers is a project proposes to continue work completed in the first and second phases of project by digitizing the next selection of the British Columbia Sessional Papers. We will be digitizing 41 bound volumes from the Legislative Library’s collection and making them accessible and keyword searchable via UBC Library’s CONTENTdm platform.The Sessional Papers contain unique materials that document the political, historical economic and cultural history of British Columbia. The Sessional Papers include official committee reports, orders of the day, petitions and papers presented records of land sales, correspondence, budgetary estimates, proclamations, maps, voters’ lists by district, and departmental annual reports. We anticipate that the resulting digital collection will be of interest to researchers and scholars in the fields of history, political science and other interdisciplinary studies. &lt;br /&gt;

Spanning 1949 to the year 2000, this collection will increase access to an important segment of Vancouver’s modern cultural history. The project is currently on the third phase, digitizing audio from past shows. &lt;br /&gt;

UBC Library, together with the UBC School of Nursing Consortium for Historical Inquiry in Nursing and Health Care and the BC History of Nursing Society, has identified material that is of interest to scholars of nursing history.  The primary focus for digitization is local material (British Columbia and Yukon) held at UBC Library.  &lt;br /&gt;

This project is centered around a collection of largely Edo-period (1615-1868) material focusing on The One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each (Hyakunin isshu, hereafter HNIS) poetry collection, edited by the famous poet and scholar Fujiwara no Teika (1162-1241). This project is part of a larger project with Professor Joshua Mostow of the Department of Asian Studies and Shirin Eshghi of UBC’s Asian Library to digitize materials. Phase 2 of the One Hundred Poets project will digitize around 70 items, including 50 books and 19 woodblock prints. Phase 2 will focus on metadata enrichment for existing collection which will make the collection easier to search and access. See our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/carousel/introducing-the-one-hundred-poets-project blog post] for more information.&lt;br /&gt;

The Japanese-Canadian newspaper &amp;quot;Tairiku Nippō&amp;quot; (Continental Daily News) was published in Vancouver between 1907 and 1941. The paper, predominantly written in Japanese, was an important source of information for Japanese immigrants to British Columbia. The Nippō sheds light on the Japanese-Canadian community previous to the internment of Japanese Canadians during World War II.&lt;br /&gt;

The Arkley Croquet Image collection contains paintings, illustrations, engravings, advertisements, photographs and other ephemera depicting the game of croquet, dating from the 1850’s to the 1950’s. The images range from fine art to cartoons and everything in between, and show the rise in the game’s popularity in England and America in the 19th and 20th centuries. The collection offers a fascinating glimpse at gender roles, as croquet was one of the first games that men and women played together.&lt;br /&gt;

The &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Discorder&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; has been published continuously from February 1983 to the present with 352 issues as of May 2014 and provides in-depth coverage of the Vancouver music scene. It is the longest running independent music magazine in Vancouver is a valuable and comprehensive resource for local music history. Coverage includes articles, reviews, photos, features, interviews, advertisements and more. In recent years the &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Discorder&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; has extended its scope to include coverage of local artists, books, films and other cultural materials. While the &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Discorder&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; has featured countless album and concert reviews of artists from outside of Vancouver its real value lies in its exhaustive documentation of 30+ years of music and culture unique to the city. The extensive nature of the &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Discorder&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; coverage, especially of the lesser known aspects of Vancouver’s independent arts and culture scene, is found virtually nowhere else.&lt;br /&gt;

The project links this field data with [http://www.fishbase.org FishBase], providing worldwide access to over 11,000 collection records spanning a 108 year period. The project also provides critical security for these historical records which are now only stored as hard copies.

An important resource for students and researchers of B.C. History, this collection of almost 900 letters from the B.C. Gold Rush provides valuable information on trade and commodities during the era.  This phase of the project will digitize the letters and make them available online thanks to funding from the [http://www.tlef.ubc.ca TLEF]; future phases will seek to further develop the materials in a online learning environment. &lt;br /&gt;

This series of 596 detailed maps was produced in 1971, 1981 and 1983 by the Greater Vancouver Regional District (now Metro Vancouver) and are held in the UBC Library’s Map &amp;amp; Atlas Collection. The maps, printed in black &amp;amp; white, use symbols to show lot-by-lot land use according to 64 categories, such as residential, industrial, commercial, etc. As frequent use over the years has caused the maps to deteriorate, it is imperative that we take measures now to preserve them digitally and make the images publicly available.&lt;br /&gt;

This project is centered around a collection of largely Edo-period (1615-1868) material focusing on The One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each (Hyakunin isshu, hereafter HNIS) poetry collection, edited by the famous poet and scholar Fujiwara no Teika (1162-1241). This project is part of a larger project with Professor Joshua Mostow of the Department of Asian Studies and Shirin Eshghi of UBC’s Asian Library to digitize materials, create a database, as well as host seminars and exhibits. These works once digitized will complement the Library’s other major Japanese digital collection, the Beans Tokugawa Map Collection—one of the three most important collections of Edo-period Japanese maps in the world.

In 1959, UBC professor Ho Ping-ti negotiated the acquisition of the world-class Puban Collection, whose 45,000 hand stitched volumes span Chinese literature, history and thought from the 12th to the 19th centuries. The core of the Puban 蒲坂藏書was originally a part of the famed Nanzhou Shu Lou 南州書樓, a large private library owned by Xu Shaoqi 徐紹棨 (1879–1948), a professor of Chinese literature and bibliography, curator of the Sun Yat-sen Library of Guangdong Province. The Sun Yat-sen Library of Guangdong Province was funded partially by Chinese Canadians in early 20th century, and it now holds many valuable titles from its first curator, Mr. Xu. The provincial librarians have been working closely with UBC Library on collaborative virtual reference services in the past a few years, and now on digitizing selected rare books on the province from Puban Collection.

BC Historical Books project is to build a single searchable database of the bibliography of British Columbia based on full-text searchable versions of the books contained therein. The result will allow scholars, students and the public unparalleled access to knowledge about our province. The 160 works which seeded this digital collection were contributed by: University of British Columbia Library, Legislative Library of BC, Royal BC Museum and Archives, Simon Fraser University Library, University of Northern British Columbia Library, University of Victoria Libraries, and Vancouver Public Library. The University of British Columbia Library continues to add to the project from its Rare Books &amp;amp; Special Collections holdings.&lt;br /&gt;

B.C. Sessional Papers is a project proposes to continue work completed in the first and second phases of project by digitizing the next selection of the British Columbia Sessional Papers. We will be digitizing 41 bound volumes from the Legislative Library’s collection and making them accessible and keyword searchable via UBC Library’s CONTENTdm platform.The Sessional Papers contain unique materials that document the political, historical economic and cultural history of British Columbia. The Sessional Papers include official committee reports, orders of the day, petitions and papers presented records of land sales, correspondence, budgetary estimates, proclamations, maps, voters’ lists by district, and departmental annual reports. We anticipate that the resulting digital collection will be of interest to researchers and scholars in the fields of history, political science and other interdisciplinary studies. &lt;br /&gt;

The Japanese-Canadian newspaper &amp;quot;Tairiku Nippō&amp;quot; (Continental Daily News) was published in Vancouver between 1907 and 1941. The paper, predominantly written in Japanese, was an important source of information for Japanese immigrants to British Columbia. The Nippō sheds light on the Japanese-Canadian community previous to the internment of Japanese Canadians during World War II.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;== Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;UBC Library - Digital Collection Development Policy&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Last revised October 6, 2010&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Digitization Strategy Vision ===&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The University of British Columbia Library is a collaborator and leader in the creation, access and preservation of digital materials. The Library’s Digitization Centre embraces new technology, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the People of British Columbia and communities beyond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Policy ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In considering materials for UBC Library digital collections some broad areas should be considered priorities: British Columbiana, materials which directly support the curriculum, Faculty and Student research output, the material record of the University, and those materials which are considered to be rare or unique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual 2016 5 19.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual]] document, from May 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This workstation uses a Sinar 86H camera back and digital CMV lenses. It is used for newspapers, oversize items, delicate materials, and miscellaneous documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;ATIZ Bookdrive Pro Cradle Scanners&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The scanners use Canon EOS 5D MKIII bodies and 50mm, 100mm and 24-70mm lenses for image capture. The cradle scanners are used for bound books and magazines, as well as for anything up to standard newspaper size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fujitsu fi-6670A Double-sided Document Scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (3)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for unbound or disbound documents and large-volume scanning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Contex HD5450 Wide Format CCD Scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for maps, newspapers, posters, and other oversize items.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Epson Perfection V750-M Pro flatbed scanner with standard platen&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for scanning photographs and delicate unbound material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Epson Expression 10000XL flatbed scanner with large platen&#039;&#039;&#039; (2)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for scanning photographs and delicate unbound material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;nextScan FlexScan 3-in-1 microform scanner&#039;&#039;&#039; (2)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for scanning from microform format.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Canon EOS 5D MKII DSLR Body with 24-70 Lens&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;

=== Collection Review Criteria and Questions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Value ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material have intrinsic value to current students, researchers or the broader community?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
2. Is the material something already collected by the Library – does it deepen, broaden or enhance a current collection?  Does it build on a current digital collection?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material reside in a collection area that is weak or non-existent and does it offer potential research value for possible future programs at the University?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the material offer possibilities for funding, creating partnerships and collaborations which in themselves strengthen the Library in some way?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Is the material likely to be transitory in its current format?  E.g.  print, audio tape, video tape, cd-rom, dvd, data sets, film, etc.  Would digitizing it create value for future research?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Usefulness ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material support the teaching and research functions of the institution?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material support teaching and research within the province?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material support broader teaching and research initiatives?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. What is the likely demand for the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Access ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. By reformatting (print, audio tape, video etc.) or placing material in repositories is access broadened? E.g. better metadata for subject access etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Is material that is fragile in the current format (print, audio, cd, dvd, film) likely to be used more in a digital format?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material create a virtual collection of geographically scattered materials?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Does the target material duplicate resources already available digitally elsewhere?  Could the Library simply point to their use?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Potential ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the material help the Library to strengthen its mandate to explore, research and create using new technologies and formats? (see Digitization Strategy Vision)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the material provide opportunities for new collaborations?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the material provide an opportunity to develop and enhance mechanisms for access:  metadata, new formats, new tools in scholarly communication etc.?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Available Resources and Technical Feasibility ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Are there sufficient financial and human resources to complete the entire project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. If the project must be done in phases is it likely that there will be resources to complete them?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Comparing the resources consumed by the target project to other available projects are there compelling reasons to choose this project over another -  preservation, access, value to present or future researchers etc.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Is the project ongoing for the foreseeable future? What are the ongoing resource cost estimates for a 3-5 year window?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. Are the technical challenges so large that the project is likely to become unwieldy or unsustainable?  Is the project, as it is currently conceived, simply impossible to do because of the technical challenges?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. Is it possible to automate much of the technical side of the project to avoid overly labour intensive workflows?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. What resources are likely to be needed for the ongoing curation of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8. Are there technical issues around curation which need to be considered?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Rights Issues ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Does the Library hold copyright for the material to be digitized?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Does the Library have written documentation from the rights owner allowing it to hold a digital copy of the material?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Does the Library require any other permission prior to embarking on the project?&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Process ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the various questions the decision makers will weight criteria under “Value and Usefulness” as essential but the deciding factors are really under “Access and Potential” as most projects would likely stand up to the scrutiny of “Value and Usefulness”.  In prioritizing projects there should be elements from all criteria present.  The issue of available resources and technical feasibility must always be considered and factored into the final decision and lack of resources or technical complexity may be the final deciding factors regardless of the merit of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Standards==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Current Imaging standards===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the ATIZ workstations and Canon digital cameras====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the CR2 format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 300 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the colour profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well.&lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the TTI workstation====&lt;br /&gt;
*Capture RAW images in the DNG format.&lt;br /&gt;
*Derive master TIFFs from RAW files using the appropriate software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop) using 600 ppi, 24 bit colour, and the highest pixel dimensions available.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save the master TIFFs with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*If future access to the material may be restricted, or if the color profile of the image is of special importance, save the RAW images as well. &lt;br /&gt;
*Be sure to keep the RAW viewing/manipulation software up to date.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Imaging with the Epson scanners and Fujitsu scanners====&lt;br /&gt;
*Scan as a TIFF and save with no compression. For most cases, scan at 600 ppi and 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
*For scans of small photographs, upscale the image to 6000 pixels on the long edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Master files====&lt;br /&gt;
*Save master files as TIFF with no compression.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save at 600 or 300 ppi, depending on the project and method of image capture. For the majority of cases we use 600 ppi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Save images as 1 bit bitonal, 8 bit grayscale, or 24 bit colour depending on the project. For the majority of cases we use 24 bit colour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Access files====  &lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate JPEG2000 files at 10:1 compression for display.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality JPEG files for download.&lt;br /&gt;
*Set CONTENTdm to generate high quality PDF files for multipage items.&lt;br /&gt;
*Older collections may not reflect these standards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Metadata Standards===&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of our digitization projects use Dublin Core-based metadata guidelines for CONTENTdm collections. The  metadata standards document in continually updated. The most current  [[File:Metadata Manual 2016 5 19.pdf|thumb|Metadata Manual]] document, from March 2016, is available. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‎&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Equipment==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Digitization Centre has a fully functioning lab with specialized scanning equipment to accommodate a wide range of materials.  As well as a magnetic wall that allows for the image capture of large format items that cannot be put through the scanning equipment, we currently have the following:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tarsia Technical Industries (TTI) 40x60 Copy System&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This workstation uses a Sinar 86H camera back and digital CMV lenses. It is used for newspapers, oversize items, delicate materials, and miscellaneous documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;ATIZ Bookdrive Pro Cradle Scanners&#039;&#039;&#039; (4)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The scanners use Canon EOS 5D MKIII bodies and 50mm, 100mm and 24-70mm lenses for image capture. The cradle scanners are used for bound books and magazines, as well as for anything up to standard newspaper size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Canon EOS 5D MKII DSLR Body with 24-70 Lens&#039;&#039;&#039; (1)&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Used for photography and 3 dimensional objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Project Planning Toolkit ==&lt;br /&gt;
Digitization projects involve more than just digitization.  Many groups or individuals may be involved and many factors may have to be considered, such as copyright, metadata, I.T. infrastructure, scheduling, web design and funding ... just to name a few.  This toolkit will help you to plan your project and see what digitization resources the Library has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Category:DigInit]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Getting started&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	We ask that parties interested in proposing a digital project complete our [http://digitize.library.ubc.ca/work/ Digital Projects Form].  This will help us to  review the various projects being proposed across the Library and move them into our workflow along with other priority projects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We do recommend that you contact the  [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre] prior to submitting your proposal.  Unit staff can help you to plan out your project, identify copyright issues, and determine required staffing and resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Who we are and what we do&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	    Every digitization project is unique, with many factors that can influence the workflow requirements and the staffing composition of the project team.  While many of these positions play a role in each digital project we undertake, these roles change to meet the needs of the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Project Sponsor&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The resident content expert, the Project Sponsor proposes the project for digitization and acts as a consultant throughout the duration of the project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digital Projects Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Digital Projects Librarian acts as the project manager, shepherding the project through the digitization phases. The librarian is also responsible for such aspects of the project as archival preservation and copyright issues, marketing and promotion, and web readiness.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Technical Services Librarian&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Technical Services Librarian provides guidance on metadata structure, defining the metadata template, ensuring that fields are formatted correctly, and consulting and troubleshooting as required.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Students&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
UBC students perform a wide variety of tasks to support the digitization project, including scanning using a variety of scanning equipment, digital image editing, applying metadata, and uploading digital content.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Digitization Centre Assistant&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The imaging expert, the Digitization Centre Assistant trains students and provides troubleshooting support for a variety of equipment and projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Library Systems &amp;amp; Information Technology&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The LSIT group provides interface, hardware, and design support to the digitization projects.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Overview of workflow&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	Our [http://diginit.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2011/08/diginit-website-workflow.pdf#file digital projects workflow] gives a general overview of the stages of a typical digitization project.  Every digital project is unique, and the workflow for each project will reflect this.  However, this workflow shows the stages common to each UBC Digitization Centre project.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;h4 class=&amp;quot;toggle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Image:More_icon.gif|text-top|link=]] Copyright&amp;lt;/h4&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;hide&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
	  &lt;br /&gt;
Determining copyright restrictions and digital rights permissions is an essential step in any digitization project, and should be established prior to the project being undertaken.  Every item is unique and may present its own set of copyright issues.  As a general starting point, projects at the UBC Library should consider the following questions when determining whether materials are eligible for digitization:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Is the material in the public domain?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
In Canada, works generally enter into the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.  Once it is in the public domain, it normally may be digitized without fear of copyright infringement.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Does UBC hold the copyright to the material?&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
If possible, refer to the item’s donor agreement for any indication of rights transferal.  Even if an item is physically held at - or owned by - UBC, that doesn’t necessarily mean that UBC also holds the copyright.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Will the copyright holder give permission to digitize the material?&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
This can be a fairly time-consuming process as every effort must be undertaken to locate the rights holder.  The Digital Initiatives Unit can assist in performing the search; make sure to allow time for this when planning your digitization project.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, the material is a likely candidate for digitization. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that if copyright is held by another party, permission must be obtained before the material can be put online.  In all cases, a record of copyright status and actions taken to determine that status should be maintained in order to document good faith efforts.  This record may include a description of the search process undertaken, the rights status discovered, and/or the permission received, as appropriate to the materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any questions about copyright or are unclear as to the copyright status of an item to be digitized, please contact the [http://toby.library.ubc.ca/libstaff/division.cfm?div=47 Digitization Centre].  For further information on copyright at UBC, see [http://copyright.ubc.ca/ Copying and Scanning at UBC].&lt;br /&gt;
