Harvesting Records with Encore
The St. Lawrence University Libraries have been working with Innovative Interfaces Inc. (III) on a project to “harvest” the metadata associated with records from the University’s digital collections. Records from the Liberal Arts Scholarly Repository project (LASR) and the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery’s ContentDM collections form the basis for the initial harvests. You can try this functionality out by running a search for “Fox News” in Encore.
Examples:
- Using Encore discovery tool to link to CONTENTdm digital collections at St. Lawrence University (joint project of SLU Art Gallery and Library).
- Using Encore discovery tool to link to Google Books held by ConnectNY libraries.
- Using Encore discovery tool access to harvest from DSpace.

Standards for Scanning Archival Documents and Slides
I’ve been on the Visual Resources Association (VRA) listserv for the past two years, and I will start to post some of their recommendations regarding best practices, resources, and standards for various aspects of digitization projects here on our SLU Web site.
Recently, NARA’s [http://www.archives.gov/index.html] and the California Digital Libraries [http://www.archives.gov/index.html] were listed as two of the best resources for information on standards for scanning archival documents and slides.
