Digitizing U.S. Hearings from the 1960s, 1970s, and
1980s

FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL
LUC 2010
October 21, 2010
BACKGROUND
The Earl K. Long Library (UNO) has been a
depository since 1964. We are depository
#0024A and have 91.38% selection rate.
This means we have A LOT of documents.
THE PROJECT
Our goal is to increase access to older
documents that are not already available
online. By available, we mean full-text, open
access.

I chose to start with United States House and
Senate Committee Hearings and
Publications since that would be useful to
pretty much all depositories.
MY ROLE
As the Head of Federal Documents, I choose
which documents will be scanned and which
will not.

In order to be scanned, an item must meet two
criteria:
1. Must already have a record in our online catalog

2. Must not be available online already (full-text, open
access)
PROCESS
&
DEMONSTRATION
WHAT METADATA IS INCLUDED?
In CONTENTdm, we include
 Title
 Agency
 Subject
 Notes

 Publisher
 Publication

date
 SuDoc number
 GPO Item number
WHAT ABOUT PRESERVATION?
All hearings are uploaded to CONTENTdm
servers in Dublin, Ohio, where OCLC
actually backs up the data.

We also have the hearings backed up on an
external hard drive and on CDs, which are
stored in Tyvek envelopes in an archival CD
box.
WHY PICK ITEMS FROM THE SHELF?
Since our catalog is not perfect (whose is?), it
is easier to pull items from the shelf and fix
any errors (i.e. being listed as microfiche
when it is not) than to go through the catalog.
Plus, near the project’s end, we’ll be able to
better account for items that should be on the
shelves and are not.
WHY SKIP ITEMS NOT YET CATALOGED?
We are skipping items that have not yet been
cataloged online with the hope that they will
be cataloged by the time we come back to
them.
Once we finish the Y 4s, the plan is to start
back at the beginning. Items that are still not
cataloged will be cataloged by us.
THE FUTURE OF THE PROJECT
This project will take a long time, so I can not
predict where it will ultimately go…
 May

move on to find Needs and Offers for
digitizing future hearings.

 May

move on to digitize other parts of the EKL
collection.

  • 7. WHAT ABOUT PRESERVATION? All hearings are uploaded to CONTENTdm servers in Dublin, Ohio, where OCLC actually backs up the data. We also have the hearings backed up on an external hard drive and on CDs, which are stored in Tyvek envelopes in an archival CD box.
  • 8. WHY PICK ITEMS FROM THE SHELF? Since our catalog is not perfect (whose is?), it is easier to pull items from the shelf and fix any errors (i.e. being listed as microfiche when it is not) than to go through the catalog. Plus, near the project’s end, we’ll be able to better account for items that should be on the shelves and are not.
  • 9. WHY SKIP ITEMS NOT YET CATALOGED? We are skipping items that have not yet been cataloged online with the hope that they will be cataloged by the time we come back to them. Once we finish the Y 4s, the plan is to start back at the beginning. Items that are still not cataloged will be cataloged by us.
  • 10. THE FUTURE OF THE PROJECT This project will take a long time, so I can not predict where it will ultimately go…  May move on to find Needs and Offers for digitizing future hearings.  May move on to digitize other parts of the EKL collection.
