Welcome to one of the University Libraries – Public Blogs at the University of Alabama. This particular blog is for Digital Services, which is currently a unit of the Office of Library Technology.  Why should I care, you say?

Because of what we do.

And what do we do??

I’m so glad you asked.

We digitize really cool old stuff and put it online, making it searchable and accessible — either from our database delivery system or from web search engines such as Google.

And what’s so cool about the stuff we digitize?  Well…  we’re just going to have to tell you all about it.  You may have read about some of it already in Cool@Hoole — but we’re going to take you in depth and show you things you’ve never seen before.   Not only that, but we’ll share with you what we do, how we do it, and — if you are into digitization — you’ll learn from modifications we’ve made that make the work faster, easier, and more sustainable.  From start to finish.

Stay tuned!!!  🙂
