Description
The Health Sciences and Human Services Library at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) offers a poster printing service to faculty, students and staff. The printing service is multifaceted. Researchers fill out a submission form to request a large-scale printout of their PDF poster to share at a conference. The same form also includes information about the opportunity to deposit a copy of their poster into the UMB Digital Archive, the University's digital repository, subsequently making their research discoverable beyond a conference venue. Three library departments: Research and Information Services, Resource Development and Access, and Computing and Technology Services work together to fulfill this unique service. This talk will provide a general overview of the poster lifecycle from the initial request form to the creation of a digital record. The talk will also provide a more concentrated focus on the Resource Development and Access department's specific management strategies in regard to licensing, metadata, and overall record curation.
