Digitization at UVic Libraries
Digitization at UVic Libraries
Sometimes I am tempted to keep adding more and more layers to the digital collections we provide but I have to remind myself that it is not the role of the library to work with the raw materials, only to provide access to them.
I am neither a map cataloger (one of several specialized areas within cataloging) nor a geographer, but one of the perks of my job is the opportunity to work with a huge variety of material, including maps, both historical and contemporary. Recently I have been able to help contribute to these projects through adding metadata (descriptive information) to the images.
