Case studies

As Ashley Todd-Diaz, Assistant University Librarian, explains, Quartex helped Towson University’s Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) to transform its learning provision for students using archival resources.

Geoffrey Skinner, Cataloging and Metadata Supervising Librarian, and Edy Dawson, Web Programmer Analyst, both from Sonoma County Library, a public library system located in California, talked to us about the importance of providing digital access to their collections with Quartex, in the light of specific human and natural challenges.

In 2021, the late Steven Giese, then Digital Projects Librarian at Des Plaines Public Library, talked us through the Library’s migration to Quartex and how his small team worked remotely to build and launch a new digital collections site that serves and engages their local community.

Darryl Stuhr, Director for Digitization and Digital Preservation Services in the Library and Academic Technology Services Group at Baylor University, discusses the process of migrating from CONTENTdm to Quartex.

Emma McTavish, formerly a PhD candidate at Queen’s University, Ontario, relates the transformational impact of Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) technology on her research into Victorian literature, life writing, gender, and sexuality.
