Creating a Discoverable and Sustainable Collection from Regional Digital Archives

 

Presented by:

  • Brenda Hazard, Hudson Valley Community College
  • Katie Jezik, Hudson Valley Community College
 

Description:

This session reviews how a community college library created an institutional repository collection for EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) using digital archival records from CONTENTdm. The collection includes 10,000 records from regional academic and public libraries and museums. Four academic libraries have added it to their EDS. The collection expands through scheduled harvesting, providing stable sustainable growth. Another group of libraries in the state will soon join the project, increasing collection scope and audience.
