The RSWG Co-Chairs have prepared a list of questions regarding the digitization instructions for and request your considerationfeedback. Please gather to consider these questions and prepare a response for the RSWG Co-Chairs. Feel free to send us your own questions that come up as you consider these decisions. For example, you may find you have questions regarding the scope or parameters.

...

Library staff select and identify which materials in their collection are available for digitization by modifying the terms of use. Library staff can also select which user groups are able make digitization requests and restrict by specific collections.

QUESTIONS:

  • Are there examples of materials that we know should be excluded from digitization requests. For example, videos?

  • Are there user groups that should be excluded from digitization requests of specific materials? For example, students be excluded from dig requests of textbooks but faculty are allowed.

  • What should be done for collections that likely have an alternative in the community? For example, leisure reading collections that are easily accessible from the public library.

Patron Digitization Limits

Staff can set a limit on the number of digitization requests that a patron can make simultaneously. Each user group can have a set limit. For example, Faculty can be allowed more requests than students.

QUESTIONS:

  • What limits (if any) should be put on simultaneous digitization requests?

  • How deeply do we need to dive into blocking duplicate requests?

Digitization and Copyright “Rules”

...

Library staff configure these “rules” and can choose whether staff will need to approve a request before digitization work begins (and/or later in the process), and the methods that will be used to deliver digital files to patrons.

QUESTIONS:

  • What are best practices and/or recommendations do you suggest for copyright rules in Alma?

Document Delivery Methods

...

  1. Document delivery - link: sends the user an email with a link to view/download the file from a document storage folder where the files are uploaded. If there are multiple files, they will be stored as a .zip file. If this option is selected, you may enter the maximum number of times the user can access the document via the link, before the link expires. If this is left blank, the user will have unlimited access. The letter sent if this is the delivery method chosen is the Document Delivery Notification Letter. Recipients will need to authenticate in Primo VE. The RSWG recommends using this method.

  2. Document delivery- attachment: sends the digitized file to the user as an email attachment. The letter sent if this is the delivery method chosen is the Ful Digitization Notification Item Letter. This method does not require recipients to authenticate in Primo VE.

  3. Digital Inventory (representation): adding the digitized document to the library's inventory (and then sending a link to the inventory by email).

QUESTIONS:

  • Are there any recommendations or best practices you suggest for document delivery methods? For example, is a link better than an attachment in all cases? Are there use cases in which ingesting an item into your local inventory would be better?

  • Do you have concerns with the digital inventory option? (the digital inventory option makes it possible for the library to hold a permanent copy until it is manually deleted.)

Copyright Declaration

Staff can add a Copyright Declaration that will appear for patrons when placing a digitization request in Primo VE. Staff can make it a mandatory requirement for patrons to confirm the declaration before submitting the request.Help us prepare a copyright declaration.
