The Last FARRIT meeting

The last FARRIT meeting took place this morning, January 19th, at the ICFL.  Danna Angevine of the ICFL gave a valuable overview of the Idaho Digital Publications project, which aims to collect born digital state documents in pdf format, add metadata tags to them and build a digital collection using Content DM. Danna currently has over 4000 items in the database. The collection can be viewed at the Idaho Government Documents page at http://idahodocs.cdmhost.com/index.php
