Planning Process
• Finding a topic– Stage musicals was a
topic for which we all had a keen interest
– All had physical objects in this area that we wanted to share.

Planning Process
• Creating purpose– Focus on just a few stage productions to offer
depth– Target audience

Digitization Process
• Digitized own contributions to project– i.e. playbills, music, etc.
• Did not have set requirements on types • Each used different equip as available

Digitization Specs
• We had to agree upon spec even though we were using different equipment for the digitization process.
• Images• We chose to scan these at this rate in order to have a manageable file
size for our end users, while still maintaining the image quality of the original.
• Resolution: 300 x 300 dpi• Depth: 24 bit color• Hardware: Epson Expression 10000 XL scanner / HP Photosmart C4180
All-in-One / Epson Perfection V700• Software: Adobe Photoshop Pro / Gimp

Specs• Text• Both grayscale and black and white imaging was used to
digitize our text objects. For the sheet music, the grayscale gave better reproduction quality.
• Resolution: 300 x 300 dpi• Depth: 8 bit grayscale• Hardware: Epson Expression 10000 XL scanner / HP

Problems & Solutions
• Differences in Tech Experience– Each of us had a diff level of tech competency– Caused some confusion esp when communicating
over e-mail
• Possible Solution– Make sure to discuss these differences in person
at the beginning

Problems & Solutions
• Group Organization– Never named an official group leader or other
group functions– Work would have been more efficient
• Solution– Name a group leader to help facilitate discussion
and keep the focus of the project in order.

Problems & Solutions
• Division of functions of the DL team– It was rather inefficient for each member to go all
the tasks in preparing the objects for digitization
• Solution– Have one person do I ndividual functions like one
digitize, another apply metadata, etc.– Hard to do since we all live in diff. cities.
