SUMMARY:The Future of Digital Collection Stewardship and Management
DESCRIPTION:Join JSTOR for an engaging webinar specifically for VALE on the future of digital collection stewardship. Library and special collections leaders have helped us understand that significant challenges exist toward the beginning of the archival process\, well before discovery and access. Early stages\, including metadata creation\, involve time-consuming manual work that is difficult to scale. Today\, JSTOR is prepared to play a transformative role in improving access\, usability\, and collection preservation\, similar to how we converted journal archives to digital form to expand knowledge nearly 30 years ago. \n\nThis webinar will showcase JSTOR Digital Stewardship Services and the flexible\, scalable options for all libraries and archives. We’ll also be sharing a behind-the-scenes look of Seeklight\, the first of its kind AI metadata and collections processing tool. \nRegister: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/S3U0KgdeR9iOdSVzz0xrzg\n\n
