2. Quick History
1999: Digital Library Center founded 2006: UF Digital Collections begins Now: 3,078,499 pages are in UFDC
Digital Preservation in the UF Libraries grows into the Digital Library Center
Statewide consortium
Defined standards
Refined tools
Made the system and made it work
Digitizes to last forever (or to the best standards that can be done, it's risk management). These high standards are painful at times, but they allow the full physical files to be in digital, allowing for the best of print and the most extensibility once digital. Infrastructure is the right way (and it wasn't me who set it up, and I looked for any flaws to fix, and it's right). UF as flagship, partnerships with Florida for newspapers and with the entire Caribbean.
