Steve

Michael

  • Accessible digital archives is different than IRs.

  • Total accessibility for digitized documents requires many tasks and manual fixes, and is often not possible for complex documents that challenge technological performance.

  • What are policies for other campus' digital collections?

  • Should we consider a shared base policy on document accessibility for digital collections? Will view this topic as it develops at project manager’s and other meetings.

  • Consider placing accessibility instructions in item level metadata? For example, “On demand” instructions.

  • Best practice for geographic access: GPS coordinates vs. geographic subject headings. GPS not useful for specific locations with no registered coordinates within a database.
