ABSTRACT In 2010 the University of Kansas Libraries (KUL) began a print purchase on demand acquisition (PDDA) program.

ABSTRACT Libraries have been digitizing their collections for years in order to provide users with enhanced access and improve preservation of library materials. This article studies how the linked data can be used to describe objects in the digital collections.

ABSTRACT To understand an Anthropology print collection, a librarian at an urban university created data visualizations.
