INNOVATIVE RESEARCH presented at this website is developing and testing methods for measuring the severity of detectable errors in digitized books and validating the impact of error on the end-user. Here you will find information on the project, selected findings, and links to the project’s reports, presentations, publications, and products. HATHITRUST DIGITAL LIBRARY serves as a testbed of digitized books and serials for the project, which has three overlapping phases. Paul Conway, Associate Professor, PI.

Paul Conway. Digital imaging technologies are replacing the microfilm camera and photocopier as the primary mechanisms for reproducing print and graphic resources. Digitization practices do not necessarily accomplish preservation goals; only a portion of digitization programs in cultural heritage institutions produce preservation-quality results. In 2004, the Association of Research Libraries issued a position paper that supported the creation of preservation-quality digital images, citing the abundance of available standards and best practices. This course concentrates on the state-of-the-art of standards, techniques, metadata, and project requirements for the production of preservation-quality digital images. The course will consider such standards and practices within the larger context of the representation of information through technological remediation.
