Abstract

How does life change when your traditional cataloging department assumes responsibility for creating and maintaining digital library collections? What about: * preservation and public presentation * running the campus institutional repository, including marketing and setting policies, software admin (DSpace) and upgrades, public pages * digital and photographic reproductions of library materials * exhibit services (assist faculty with projects, presentations, posters,etc.) * microfilming (newspapers, theses, on demand reproductions) * preservation and conservation of print materials * traditional photography and darkroom work for library and campus publicity and publications
