AGENDA & NOTES

Welcome to the first meeting with our new name!  Pronounce at will. 

1. The Michigan Daily Archives: Newspapers in Blacklight & IIIF (Chris Powell, University of Michigan)
   Student newspaper publishing since 1890. Have wanted to put online for a decade, but now have done so in time for the bicentennial. 
   Is not a Samvera project per se, but uses Blacklight, Solr and IIIF.  Chris gave a live demonstration of the search and faceting, page turning, and ability to download. 
   Future plans include abstracting this work and extracting gems to share with the rest of the community.  
   
   

   1. Will Cowan shared that Indiana is using Plum to run a newspaper project - trying to solve the OCR and search problem.  Getting close to having it go live.
