About:
The Missouri State University Libraries' Systems Office is responsible for the operation and maintenance of computer systems within the Libraries. This includes hardware and software for public and staff workstations, servers that run library-specific applications, as well as the development of applications to support library services.
The Systems Office works with other library departments, Computer Services, and the Office of Information Technology to plan and implement library systems.
Background:
Dr. Edward Proctor, Associate Professor of Library Administration, received a 2009 award (opens in a new window) to digitize important manuscripts and xylographs held by the Tibetan Yungdrung Bon Library of the Menri Monastery in Dolanji, India. This 2 month pilot project is to determine the holdings of the library, identify just how much ought to be digitized and is suitable for such copying, the facilities that are available, and the training needs of the staff.
Research Objectives:
The work will result in a report which would be the basis for an application
for a major grant to support the digitization and preservation effort.
