Abstract
At least ten Virginia libraries are already among the 166 participants in the LYRASIS Mass Digitization Collaborative, a project that leverages grant support to maximize the volume of materials libraries can afford to digitize and offer as open-access resources. For many participants, this was a first experience with digitization, and, in most cases, it has gone well enough that it will lead to more digitization of high-demand materials. Laurie Gemmill, mass digitization program manager for LYRASIS, has agreed to give our readers an inside look at her work and the project as a whole.
