Metadata Works From Home: How Student Workers Continued to Work While Increasing Collection Accessibility
Presented by the Metadata Interest Group.
Faced with campus closures, a University of Houston Libraries team developed plans to engage student employees in creating closed captions for hundreds of archival videos on the Libraries’ Audio/Video Repository. Panelists will describe the project and address unique challenges related to transcribing archival content, including dated and offensive content.
