For libraries - Digitising a print item with adobe acrobat pro - how it's done!

Developing an effective digitisation process

This is a fun  video which illustrates the process developed by me during the course of my role as a Digital Assets Assistant. The institution I work for has a digitisation service that makes readings available to students under the terms of the Copyright Licensing Agency agreement.

This was used as part of a presentation I delivered to the directorate of information resources to demonstrate the Digital Course Pack digitisation service to colleagues.

This also references a magic macro-enabled spreadsheet I developed which manipulates data from our database in order to generate coversheets (a laborious and timeconsuming task) which is a requirement of the license.

The aim of working to this level of quality are to satisfy the license and hopefully add more value to the student experience. The process was also developed with efficient processes in mind.

Enjoy.
