As cultural institutions continue to digitize their collections’ objects, millions of images now exist in TIFF, JPEG, and JPEG 2000 color still image formats. Commonly, however, the colors of the original objects are not accurately reproduced when such digital image files are rendered on a computer monitor or on a print [1]. Such renderings are acceptable to a degree based upon user intent, but a direct comparison of the original and the image rendering will show easily visible differences upon closer inspection. The chain from the object itself, to the digital imaging device through color encoding, storage, color decoding, and …

Academic research libraries can employ several approaches to advance the institutional mission.

The key is …

A basic outline for installing Archivematica in a more production-level environment in order to test larger-sized SIP > AIP creation. This configuration can also be used to test the feasibility of production level SIP ingest > processed AIP export. In this example, digital objects ready for archiving originate in a Windows source directory that is ingested into a Linux-based Archivematica virtual machine then exported back out to a Windows network file share through SFTP.

Utilizing Libqual+® To Identify Best Practices In Academic Research Library Website Design, Raynna Bowlby, Brinley Franklin, Carolyn A. Lin

Published Works

The intent of this research paper is to discover if LibQUAL+® results can be used to identify “best practices” in academic research library website design. As demonstrated by responses to the LibQUAL+® survey item “A library Web site enabling me to locate information on my own”, website design is an important consideration for academic research library users. This paper examines websites from members of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) who participated in LibQUAL+® in 2010, with a particular focus on the websites with the highest scores for this specific LibQUAL+® question. Three primary functional criteria – Visual Layout, Information …
