This talk will provide insight into key decision points and potential quagmires, as well as a discussion of the challenges of dealing with heterogeneous data from a wide variety of institutions.

Are you a small library or archive? <br>
Do you feel you are being held back by limited technical resources?<br>
Tired of waiting around for the Google Books Library people to reply to your emails? <br>
Join the club. Open Source software, hackerspaces, dirt cheap storage, cloud computing, and social media make it possible for any institution to start curating digitally. Today.
This talk will cover some of the guerrilla tactics being employed to drag a small university's large collection into the internet age.
Topics will include:
*Cheap and effective document scanning methods.
*Valuable resources found at your local hackerspace / makerspace / fablab.
*Metadata enrichment for the not so rich and NLP for the people.
*Utilizing social media to crowdsource your collection building.
*How to post-process, OCR, PDF, and ePub your documents using Free software.
*Ways to build out a digital repository with no servers, code, or large 2-year grants required. (ok, maybe some code).
