[padg] Digital Surrogates of Special Collection Material
Folks,
The following questions are in regard your institution's response to
reader/user requests for digital copies (that are produced in-house)
of analog special collections materials. Thanks.
Robert
What resolution images do you provide the requestor? High, low?
Do you provide TIFF or JPG or some other image format?
Do you watermark the image(s)?
Do you burn a CD/DVD of the image(s) and then snail mail it? Email the file?
Do you archive these images (to respond to possible future requests
for the same item) or delete them?
If archived, what imaging spec is used to create the original/master
(presumably TIFF) image? 300/600dpi? x pixels in the long direction?
If archived (and presumably backed up/preserved), how are the
files/directories named so that you can locate them again for another request?
