Administrative Issues
Uris• How much information
should we provide in Dspace regarding the files we know about only from disk labels?
Crowley• How/whether to represent
the letter Æ (ash) in the metadata
• Should finding aids describe intellectual content or physical location?
• Navigation woes of the ‘mære-weriges mod’

The Bigger Picture
Uris• Try before you buy!• Get hardware/software
configurations from the author
• Process digital materials now; they won’t wait
• Even Tech Gurus fail sometimes
Crowley• Discuss metadata
requirements and levels of service before acquisition
• Pray that authors stick to MS Word until we can get this digital archiving business sorted!
