Accessible digital archives is different than IRs.
Total accessibility for digitized documents requires many tasks and manual fixes, and is often not possible for complex documents that challenge technological performance.
What are policies for other campus' digital collections?
Should we consider a shared base policy on document accessibility for digital collections? Will view this topic as it develops at project manager’s and other meetings.
Consider placing accessibility instructions in item level metadata? For example, “On demand” instructions.
Best practice for geographic access: GPS coordinates vs. geographic subject headings. GPS not useful for specific locations with no registered coordinates within a database.
