Digitization Center

The LITS Digitization Center’s main function is to help support Mount Holyoke’s curricular needs, by converting and creating digital multimedia instructional materials. The Digitization Center will answer your questions, analyze your options, and help you meet your goals in the following areas of digital production.

• Electronic Reserve material scanning and posting
• Scanning for presentations and Web use
• High resolution image scanning
• Scanning of materials from Mount Holyoke’s archive
• Project Consultation
• Streaming Audio and Video

The Digitization Center can plan, create, organize and archive images and information for Mount Holyoke’s faculty, staff and community partners. Projects at the Digi-Center can range from converting a faculty slide collection into an online resource for global research to digitizing readings and images for a single class. The digital resources that the Digi-Center creates are easy to use, manage and share while the procedures are explained in a friendly and easy to understand manner.

Curricular projects always take priority. However, time permitting, we can also undertake projects to support other College needs. Curricular projects are processed on a first-come first-served basis. Some requests can be finished quickly while others take longer. Turn-around time is dependent upon both the type of project and other projects currently in process.

The Digitization Center is a point of service for the Mount Holyoke’s digital imaging needs. Electronic reserve materials can be dropped off weekdays from 9:00 – 5:00, or an appointment can be scheduled for project consultations. For after hours drop off, there is a locked drop box, or materials can be left at the library’s circulation desk.
