• Abstract:
  Metadata Librarian Megan Tietjen and graduate student Josue Rivera-Olds discuss digitization projects at the National Transportation Library (NTL). Tietjen describes how NTL ingests digitized collections in bulk into the NTL Digital Repository, some of the processes used, and shares example projects. Rivera-Olds presents a collection assessment project of over 4,000 records conducted for the NTL. The project analyzed PDFs from 1948-1999 that were originally hosted on the dot.gov website.
