As a continuation of our series on our 2011 Annual Report, please see a description of other major activities in Technical Services:

• We accepted 354 dissertations and over 1,185 senior theses in FY11 under the supervision of Lynn Durgin. Durgin has also invested significant time preparing for the shift to electronic submission of dissertations beginning in Fall 2011.
• Adriane Hanson managed the Daily Princetonian Digitization Project which was nearly complete by the end of the year. Maureen Callahan developed an initial plan for digitization of the Princeton Weekly Bulletin; the project is scheduled to begin in fall 2011.
• Dan Santamaria and Maureen Callahan continued to provide support to other departments in the Library who are now creating EAD finding aids, such as the Engineering Library and the Latin American Ephemera projects.

• RBSC’s Best Practices for EAD guidelines were revised and Callahan converted the document to wiki format which allows for easier maintenance and revision. As part of the RBSC EAD Working Group, Callahan and Santamaria also made contributions to the development of a framework for delivering EAD data via Primo and also authored a proposal for a redesign of the EAD website in FY2012.
• Staff, particularly Hanson and Peterson, tested and evaluated Archivematica for possible implementation as an electronic records and digital preservation tool.
