Brief Abstract

This panel discusses the challenges in translating tactile items into representative and authentic digital formats. Panelists discuss the digitization of three collections – Ricker Materials, Historic Games, and Gwendolyn Brooks – with the goal of expanding access to non-circulating collections and increasing diverse representation on UIUC Library’s digital platforms.
