SPEAKERS:
- Libby Hertenstein, associate professor, cataloger & metadata librarian, Bowling Green University. Highlighting Artist's Books in the Digital Environment with Omeka S.
- Susan Hernandez, digital archivist and systems librarian, Cleveland Museum of Art. Fine Arts Garden Correspondence.
- John Dewees,  supervisor digitization services, Local History and Genealogy, Toledo Lucas County Public Library. Increasing Access to Materials through the Wikimedia Foundation and DPLA.

PROGRAM
- HIGHLIGHTING ARTIST'S BOOKS IN THE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT WITH OMEKA S. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced special collection libraries and archives to be creative in providing access to their collections. Adding on past experiences of using Omeka S to create a linked data exhibition for the New Music Festival collection, this poster session will provide information about a proposed project to highlight artists' books in a digital environment. Artists' books are books that often challenge the concept of what is a book and are often interactive, which require users. To bring users to a collection that they physically cannot touch right now, a digitization project is being planned. The project will involve approximately 40 artists' books, including print and 3D forms. High-quality pictures will be taken, from multiple angles, and will accompany detailed descriptive metadata that is then uploaded into an Omeka S collection. Following ingestion, linked data relationships for artists, subject, and materials will be created. To give attendees an idea of how the project might look, the New Music Festival Omeka S exhibit will be shared. Topics covered in this proposed poster session will include: the unique aspect of photographing and digitizing artists' books, how to create descriptive metadata that meets the needs of users, how Omeka S can enhance data by its ability to create linked data, and a discussion on potential avenues to incorporate this digital collection into primary resource instruction.
- FINE ARTS GARDEN CORRESPONDENCE. In fall of 2020 the Cleveland Museum of Art Ingalls Library and Museum Archives finished a project to digitize and make available online a portion of the Fine Arts Garden records collection. The records document the development and early maintenance of museum's Fine Arts Garden, which was completed in 1928 and designed by the Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm. The records are popular with internal and external researchers and their digitization seemed appropriate given the upcoming 2022 Olmsted Bicentennial. By the time we began this project our team was experienced with digitizing books and photographs but this was our first foray into a collection comprised mostly of correspondence. Despite the small size of the portion designated for digitization (just two boxes of records) the project proved to be relatively complex.
- INCREASING ACCESS TO MATERIALS THROUGH THE WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION AND DPLA. In May 2020, the Toledo Lucas County Public Library partnered with the Digital Public Library of America, through Dominic Byrd-McDevitt, the DPLA Data Fellow, on a new project to duplicate copyright free digital resources available in CONTENTdm and upload them into Wikimedia Commons. This process utilizes the IIIF suite of APIs to make the transfer possible and to bring both well-formed metadata and the images themselves into Wikimedia Commons, in particular making use of standardized Rights Statements to determine copyright status programmatically. Once digitized images are available in Wikimedia Commons it is a simple matter to then embed those images into Wikipedia articles, a platform with a wide and varied audience. Over the course of 2020, the Toledo Lucas County Public Library added images to 192 Wikipedia articles which received over 8 million pageviews. This work is a highly effective means of opening up resources to completely new audiences that very likely would not otherwise interact with a given organization's digitized content. The work is able to be done remotely, can be completed by archivists or volunteers and interns, and can be the basis for outreach and programming by which digitized content is added to existing articles or new Wikipedia articles are created using the digitized content as a foundation. The copying of these assets in Wikimedia Commons is an automated process accomplished through code written by DPLA. Finally, the 8 million pageviews over 8 months only required roughly 32 hours of work total, roughly an hour a week.
