PDA Summer Digitization Series: From Analog to Digital: The Journey of Digitization
This presentation explores the transformative journey from physical to digital formats, using the George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida as a case study. We will walk through the step-by-step digitization process, from selection and preparation to capture, metadata creation, and long-term digital access. Attendees will gain insight into the key tools and technologies that power modern digitization workflows. The session will also highlight critical questions institutions should ask before launching a digitization project - such as identifying priorities, planning for scalability, and ensuring accessibility. Whether you're just beginning or refining your digitization strategy, this session offers practical guidance rooted in real-world experience.
This webinar is part of the Summer Digitization Series, a joint effort of FLVC and CARLI to share digitization programming on Wednesdays in June and July.
Approaches to “AI 101” in ASERL Libraries
Many ASERL libraries have developed introductory courses for students to gain experience in using generative AI tools responsibly. In this session, presenters from Auburn University Libraries, Clemson University Libraries, and Georgia State University Libraries will discuss how they are approaching this rapidly-evolving topic. Subtopics will include AI privacy and data control, tips for collaborating with campus partners, strategies for navigating and managing information resources, and ways to enhance productivity and learning. We will explore tools tools such as NotebookLM, ChatGPT, Adobe Firefly, and Perplexity. Attendees will come away with practical insights and examples to inform their own use of generative AI tools in academic settings.
Troubleshooting On The Desk: Academic Library Edition
