The digital age has created new opportunities for libraries to interact with their constituents. Launching a digital collections program from digitized and born-digital archives, special collections and local history materials makes it possible for libraries to increase the accessibility of materials outside of normal library hours and connect with new audiences. But creating a new program from scratch or reviving a dormant digital collections program requires the right technology. Tools should be simple and affordable, hosted in a secure environment, and flexible enough to grow as your program grows.
In this free webinar and workshop you will:
-
Hear from libraries who are using Preservica’s Free Starter platform to connect with their community
-
Learn how to easily create your first digital preservation collection with simple drag and drop
-
Quickly upload metadata and digital files in bulk
