“Digitization. Everyone’s talking about it, yet few have a firm grasp. Digitization seems to require substantial investment, since large institutions and Google have started massive projects, but there seem to be very few small libraries jumping in.

“However, both large and small institutions should be comfortable with creating, managing, marketing, and preserving digital assets through scanning or otherwise digitizing paper-based (or analog) materials. As we will see, ‘being comfortable’ means being both a generalist and a specialist at the same time.”
