Many programs take a disk-by-disk approach to imaging or transferring optical media, but to deal with a collection of this size, NYPL developed a workflow using a Nimbie AutoLoader and a customized version of KBNL’s open-source IROMLAB software to batch disks for transfer. This workflow prioritized quantity, but, at the outset, it was difficult to tell if every transfer was as accurate as it could be. We discuss the process of evaluating the success of the mass transfer workflow, and the improvements we made to identify and troubleshoot errors that could occur during the transfer. A background of the institution and other institutions’ approaches to similar projects is given, then an in-depth discussion of the process of gathering and analyzing data. We finish with a discussion of our takeaways from the project."

Was it replaced with a better workflow? Did it work well with some content but not others? What is the current status of the workflow? Does it relate to another workflow already described on the wiki? Link, explain and elaborate --> ==Further Information== <!-- Provide any further information or links to additional documentation here --> Detailed description and evaluation of the workflow can be found in this paper: [https://journal.code4lib.org/articles/15908 "Assessing High-volume Transfers from Optical Media at NYPL"] by Michelle Rothrock, Alison Rhonemus, Nick Krabbenhoeft <!-- Add four tildes below ("~~~~") to create an automatic signature, including your wiki username.
