Abstract

Abstract Advances in digital image capture technology and the adoption of More Product, Less Process methods have resulted in special collections and archives large-scale digitization that creates a new kind of digital surrogate. Mirroring and reusing aggregate archival arrangement and description, these digital surrogates represent multiple items and are minimally described as a whole. The authors conducted interviews to explore user reactions to this digitization method at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. This study found that large-scale digitization does have a positive impact for users, although additional strategies may be required to maximize the usefulness of the resulting digital objects.

指尖上的档案:探索用户对大规模数字化的反应

摘要数字图像捕获技术的进步和“多产品、少过程”方法的采用，导致了特殊藏品和档案的大规模数字化，创造了一种新型的数字替代品。这些数字代理反映并重复使用聚合的档案排列和描述，代表多个项目，并且作为一个整体进行最低限度的描述。作者在拉斯维加斯内华达大学进行了采访，探讨用户对这种数字化方法的反应。这项研究发现，大规模数字化确实对用户产生了积极影响，尽管可能需要额外的策略来最大限度地提高由此产生的数字对象的有用性。
