reach out to her colleagues at the Florida State University Music Library (FSUML), who recommended the use of an Epson Expression 12000XL Photo scanner. This scanner type worked well because it was easy to use and provided flexible options to handle scores in large-formats and different types of paper. After scores were scanned, digital copies were generated and deposited into ContentDM, the institutional repository software used by Troy University. At this point, assigning metadata became necessary to provide access to the collection, but given to Ruth’s lack of musical expertise, the selection of metadata fields was not evident. In consequence, Ruth decided to perform some research and reach out to her colleagues at FSUML one more time. They helped by directing her to their metadata application profile, also known as a digital dictionary. From the application profile, Ruth selected fields that would be useful to potential users of the collection, such as: creator and contributors to represent composers and arrangers, instrumentation for specific instruments, and Library of Congress subject headings for topics. The collection is currently available at the Alabama Mosaic repository at http://www.alabamamosaic.org/. At the end of the presentation, Ruth wrapped up with an evaluation of the project, including lessons learned and potential improvements for the future. Some of the lessons learned included: being careful with what is promised to donors, documenting the agreement with donors before starting any work to avoid future misunderstandings, and realizing that reaching out for help is ok, none of us know everything. Potential improvements for the future included: hiring a music student to assist in the processing of scores, documenting the procedures to establish consistency, and defining the metadata fields at the beginning of the project, so that metadata can be applied during the scanning process and not afterward.

馆藏评估：谁、什么和为什么。ACRL 评估讨论组和 ALCTS 馆藏评估和评估兴趣组联合会议的报告，美国图书馆协会年会，华盛顿特区，2019 年 6 月

联系佛罗里达州立大学音乐图书馆 (FSUML) 的同事，他们推荐使用 Epson Expression 12000XL 照片扫描仪。这种扫描仪类型运行良好，因为它易于使用并提供了灵活的选项来处理大幅面和不同类型纸张的乐谱。扫描分数后，生成数字副本并将其存放在特洛伊大学使用的机构存储库软件 ContentDM 中。此时，必须分配元数据以提供对集合的访问，但鉴于 Ruth 缺乏音乐专业知识，元数据字段的选择并不明显。因此，Ruth 决定进行一些研究，并再次联系她在 FSUML 的同事。他们通过将她引导到他们的元数据应用程序配置文件（也称为数字词典）来提供帮助。从应用程序配置文件中，Ruth 选择了对集合的潜在用户有用的字段，例如：代表作曲家和编曲家的创作者和贡献者、特定乐器的仪器以及国会图书馆主题的主题标题。该系列目前可在位于 http://www.alabamamosaic.org/ 的 Alabama Mosaic 存储库中获得。在演示结束时，Ruth 对项目进行了评估，包括吸取的经验教训和未来的潜在改进。吸取的一些教训包括：谨慎对待对捐助者的承诺，在开始任何工作之前记录与捐助者的协议以避免未来的误解，并意识到寻求帮助是可以的，我们谁都不知道。未来的潜在改进包括：
