Archive
This is a read-only archive of the BHL Staff Wiki as it appeared on Sept 21, 2018. This archive is searchable using the search box on the left, but the search may be limited in the results it can provide.

Getting started with Internet Archive

Questions to answer first:
-will you be scanning with IA at one of their scanning centers or on a single SCRIBE somewhere?
-are you only uploading to IA from items you've scanned in-house?
-do you want to have your own collection (e.g., Cornell or Mobot) as well as contribute to BHL (not recommended if you have fewer than 100 books to contribute)

-contact: Robert Miller if you need to arrange scanning at one of IA's scanning centers
-for all other forms, contact Robert or Ginger Bisharat, who can help set up your collection.

Overview of process of working with IA:

Information you will need to provide:
-Partner Form can be found here you will need to supply information for doing Z39.50 fetching against your catalog, billing information, library contact information if you want to be part of the electronic ILL that Open Library does, and some other stuff. Ginger or Robert at the Archive or someone in BHL, possibly Keri but maybe not, can help you fill this out. it's best to talk to someone at BHL or the Archive about what you're doing before you send IA all the forms and stuff. Also, you may need to sign some agreement that has to do with billing or something. dunno. not my area.
