We Work for the Users! User-centric Digitization for the Digital Library of the Caribbean Panhandle Library Access Network August 18, 2016 Slides: http://dloc.com/l/AA00040901 Chelsea Dinsmore, dLOC Technical Director Miguel Asencio, dLOC Director Slides: http://dloc.com/AA00040901/

dLOC: Building the Partnerships Shared Governance Content Management System and Long-term Preservation 40 Partners – Caribbean, Europe and US Over 80 million hits since 2006 Over 3 million pages of open access content 20,000+ titles with 132,000+ items Training Programs: Digitization, Curriculum Integration, Data Curation Scholarly Collaborations Educational Outreach New Initiatives The Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC)—a unique, open access, collaborative, international, multi-lingual digital library for resources from and about the Caribbean and circum-Caribbean, providing access to and ensuring preservation of Caribbean materials (digitized and born-digital). dLOC's diverse partners serve an international community of scholars, students, and publics by working together to preserve and to provide enhanced electronic access to cultural, historical, legal, governmental, and research materials.

What Collaboration Can Do: The Digital Library of the Caribbean Governance and Building Communities of Practice tomorrow at 10:45am! We are going to talk about the history and collaborative governance of dLOC tomorrow…

User-Centric Digitization User-centric digitization. What is user centric digitization? Well, digitization is pretty simple –well, simple to define. According to Google, digitization is the act of converting information into a digital format. That information may have started as book, or a newspaper, or a record, a wax cylinder, a vhs tape, or an African beaded mask. Google goes to say that, “In this format, information is organized into discrete units of data (called bit s)….” However, bits are not very useful by themselves, so usually when libraries talk about digitization it includes the additional steps of description—creating metadata, and curation. When we are really on the ball it also includes project planning, which Krystal Thomas will be speaking about tomorrow, sadly also at 10:45. So, you will have to choose between dLOC and project planning. User centric means we put the needs and goals of the community

So, you will have to choose between dLOC and project planning. When it comes to defining User it isn’t quite so straight forward. Let me ask you—who do you think the user is? User centric means we put the needs and goals of the community

User-Centric Digitization Scanning the information that the users want to have or make available and serving it in a context that makes that content useful

User-Centric Digitization Scanning the information that the users want to have or make available and serving it in a context that makes that content useful. So, how do a group of disparate institutions, with various levels of resources (content, people, money, technology) and working in a multitude of languages work together to create a digital library platform?

We use technology to meet the needs of the users

We use technology to meet the needs of the users But not in a vacuum!

Socio-Technological Supports Materials Training Grants This is a simple presentation on a complex topic so I am going to just talk about the materials, the training and the work with grants that dLOC does. In the talk tomorrow there will be much more information about the community and the digital scholarship
