If you would like help getting familiar with the digitization station, staff can provide an orientation upon request. An orientation typically takes 15–45 minutes, depending on what you plan to digitize. During this session, we will walk you through the equipment and digitize an item together. To use the station independently afterward, you will need basic computer skills.
