Using Business Intelligence to Inform Digitization Decisions & Use of Digitized Content

We’ll seek to use tools and data at hand to help in many aspects of selecting material to be digitized, sharing information as to what’s being digitized, and helping to get content into the hands of researchers.

We’re investigating how we can analyze what has been digitized to help guide future selection of materials to digitize whether by format or subject, to fill in gaps, build on strengths, or go in new directions. We’ll explore how registries (institutional, digital masters) can play a role in coordinating digitization activities.

We’ll analyze circulation, holdings, and other data to develop a rich view of collection composition, use, and overlap. We’ll then demonstrate how collection analysis and the digital registry can be used to inform selection decisions for future digitization and look at how the copyright register can be used to connect users with information.
