Information
Digitization is the conversion of an

analog signal or code into a digital signal
code.
BENEFITS OF DIGITIZATION
1. Increasing access to the object.
2. Liberates the document from constraints of
traditional access

Information
The use of automatic machines or processing

devices in libraries.
The automation may be applied to library
administrative activities, offices procedures,
and delivery of library services to users.
The focus now in library automation is on
interconnecting systems, information
resources and users.

Integrated automated library management systems

come with standard modules that includes:

out and by whom)
Cataloging (keeping and offering access to
materials)
Acquisitions (acquiring new items)
Serials (tracking periodicals)
Online Public Access Catalogue or OPAC
Inter Library Loan (cooperative sharing of

1. Content
Digitization
Automation
The advantages of
digitizing
Information
The notion of content as a text is familiar to all

information users and information professionals.
But it also necessarily includes material submerged in
the text, such as
a page numbers,
chapter headings and footers.
The content of images and sound is more
problematical because less inherently understood.
colour is an element, as is shape and form in the
case of images,
while tonality can be significant for sound.

1. Content
Digitization
Automation
The advantages of
digitizing
Information
High resolution during scanning is essential for

rich color register; this means a larger file size
and more expensive storage, as well as slower
transmission across a network.
Where the costs of a digitization project are
significant factor, compromises may have to
made as to what is an essential level of
content for a particular information object as
opposed to what would be ideal.

2. Fixity
Digitization
Automation
The advantages of
digitizing
Information
Fixity (originality) is the relationship of the

object and its content to other objects and to
the outside world.
Library and information professionals are
familiar to the concept of fixity in published
and other works;
a book may go through several editions;
business records, invoices for example,
relate to a particular transaction which is
fixed and located in time.

Digitization
Automation
The advantages of
digitizing
Information
In other cases - the most obvious being

financial databases - the digitized data is
volatile and there are no points of fixity except
in relation to the data itself.
The integrity and value of such databases
resides in their completeness and the fact of
being up-to-date. But in order to identify
significant shifts, a record of changes and a
method for recording these needs to be built
into the initial design of the database.

Digitization
Automation
Reference is a third aspects which bears on the

integrity of digitized information.
The advantages of
digitizing
Information
Reference is a consistent method of identifying

both what an information object is and where
it is located.
Such systems authors, titles, ISBNs and
catalogues have evolved over time to do
precisely this for traditionally published
materials.

3. Reference
Digitization
Automation
The advantages of
digitizing
Information
The challenge with digital information is to

adopt
such
techniques
which
meet
conventional citation requirements.
Among the most important developments are
the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), the
Uniform Resource Name (URN) and Uniform
Resource Characteristics (URCs) but their use is
far from standard as yet.

4. Provenance
Digitization
Automation
The advantages of
digitizing
Information
Provenance means origin.

The provenance of information object also
contributes to its integrity.
Provenance identifies where an information
object came from and how it got there.
This is essential if users of the information are
to have any confidence in it and corresponds to
the familiar notions of relying on the
reputation of a publisher and the peer review
system as indications of quality, worth and
authenticity.

5. Context
Digitization
Automation
The advantages of
digitizing
Information
The final attribute of information integrity is

context,
including
technical
and
communication dimensions, links to other
information objects and wider social issues. (by
the use of html linkage to other issues).
Essential for any use of digitized material is the
specification of hardware and software
technologies for both creation and use. The
storage method selected for the digitized
material has obvious implications for how and
where it can be used, as well as by whom.

The advantages of

Information
HTML provides a way both to link together the

disparate (different) parts of a single object and
to link one object with another wider social
and economic issues include the provision of
the technical infrastructure in which networks
and communication services operate, data
protection, copyright and other legal
requirements, and funding for major
digitization projects.
