New Horizon of Digitization in Serbia improvement of digitization through cooperation with world leading institutions and the in-house development of digital tools

摘要

In 2016 the University Library "Svetozar Markovic" in cooperation with eight partner institutions started a project entitled "New Horizon of Digitization in Serbia" which was funded by the Ministry of Culture and Information of the Republic of Serbia. The aim of the project was to improve the main segments of digitization which were developed properly and to apply new digitization methods in as many institutions in Serbia in a standardized way. New digitization methods and approaches used in this project mostly come from the cooperation of the University Library "Svetozar Markovic" with the world leading institutions such as the British National Library or result from the in-house development of digital tools which improve segments of digitization process. During 2016 the University Library "Svetozar Markovic" in cooperation with the British National Library carried out the project entitled "Safeguarding the fragile collection of the private archive of the Lazic family" within which it acquired rich experience in enhancing digitization process. This paper presents several segments which show how the digitization process is improved within the project. Possibilities and practice of creation of master files of digital copies of important documents which contain colour and size references which began at the University Library "Svetozar Markovic" are described in the paper.
