Kyle Fenton's List: Archival Workflow

This report details the work of the RLG Partnership Working Group on Streamlining Photography and Scanning and its result-a flexible, tiered approach to delivering digitized materials that acknowledges differences in user needs, collections, institutions, and resources. This tiered workflow for user-initiated digitization consists of four main steps: review, decide, scan, and deliver.
By adopting this approach, librarians and archivists can make access the top priority, streamline user-initiated digitization workflows and leverage digital technology to deliver special collections and archives to users efficiently-while more easily meeting their own high standards and encouraging the evolving use of special collections and archives.
