- Abstract
- This study is a content analysis examining websites of special collection libraries and archives supporting large-scale digitization initiatives to determine the kinds of information and functionalities available to online users. Large-scale digitization is characterized by aggregate-level selection and metadata of materials to be digitized. The analysis was conducted on a group of ten institutions identified as participating in large-scale digitization. The results demonstrate success in highlighting digitized materials on the website, but show a lack of consistency in the use of item-level and aggregate-level metadata, suggesting inconsistency in the definition of large-scale digitization.
