Scanning TRAIL Project Technical Reports: A Workflow for a Large-Scale Collaborative Digitization Effort
Date: May 7, 2013
Creator: Tarver, Hannah
Description: Poster illustrating the workflow used in the University of North Texas (UNT) Digital Projects Unit to digitize large numbers of TRAIL (Technical Report and Image Library) documents. The poster outlines five stages: [1] "Inventory," in which staff account for items received and route un-cut reports for disbinding before adding them to the scanning queue, [2] "Scanning," in which regularly-sized pages are scanned on a duplex scanner and fold-out pages are scanned on flatbed or planetary scanners, [3] "Processing," in which files are deskewed, resized, compressed, rotated, etc., and quality control checks identify errors, [4] "Metadata," in which the MARC records for the reports are converted into XML and a metadata creator fills in additional fields, and [5] "Online," in which reports are publicly available on the UNT Digital Library.

Reducing Service Points in the Academic Library: How to Provide Quality Customer Service in the Face of Budget Cuts
Date: April 2013
Creator: Leuzinger, Julie
Description: This paper discusses how to provide quality customer service in the face of budget cuts. Abstract: Most academic libraries have been experiencing cutbacks in staff and resources and are expected to do more with less. In response to these cutbacks, the University of North Texas (UNT) Libraries came up with a plan to reduce the number of staffed service points. By the end of the Spring 2012 semester the UNT Libraries had successfully merged nine service points into three: two service desks at our main library and one at our science library. This paper will present an overview of the steps the UNT Libraries Public Services Division took to effectively manage these mergers. It will describe the methods used to cross train library support staff, and provide suggestions for other libraries who may also be considering streamlining their service points.
