It sounds a bit like an eastern proverb — and, to be completely honest, I'm not certain that I haven't unconsciously borrowed the phrase from one of the many poorly-dubbed Kung Fu films I indulge in from time to time. Whatever the origins, the concept is simple: Flexible matter immediately assumes the shape of whatever you pour it into; and even a somewhat rigid object will, over time, succumb to the contours of its packaging. By the same token, a rigid item will simply break if forced into a container that is too foreign or restrictive. I've found this maxim to be a true and useful analogy in the planning of digital collections. Bringing an existing " real world " collection , and its accompanying metadata, across the digital threshold can sometimes be a frustrating process — full of promise, but also compromise. The flexibility of both the container and the contained must be taken into consideration; however, it is the collections librarian who must remain the most willowy — recognizing the shattering points of both and finding an appropriate fit. Library's new Digital Initiatives program was to migrate the visual resources of the Architecture Library into a single online environment that would facilitate remote access, advanced searching capabilities, and image delivery at a resolution suitable for research and classroom instruction within the College of Architecture and Planning (CAP). The first step in the conversion process was to assess and gather the characteristics of the materials to be digitized: • Approximately 120,000 35mm slides • Local call number for access purposes • Group level MArC records that gather individual slides according to location or site. The next step was to consider the characteristics of the desired online collection: • Slides must be scanned and stored in accordance with archival standards. • Derivative images must be created for online delivery. • The " front end " metadata must be user-friendly, containing data fields and categorizations that CAP students and faculty would recognize. • The " back end " metadata must conform to internationally recognized metadata standards and be suitable for Open Archives Initiative (OAI) harvesters. • The online collection must be made available as widely as copyright will allow — so that outside educators and the general public may also utilize the collection. With the above survey of existing materials, and list of collection goals we began our planning the collection …
