Crowdsourced Data: Accuracy, Accessibility, Authority (CDAAA)

CDAAA explores the sociotechnical barriers libraries, archives, and museums face in integrating crowdsourced transcriptions to discovery systems. Using data from surveys, semi-structured interviews, data integration demonstrations, and user testing with people who use screen readers, we will produce individualized LAM Partner Reports, a summative white paper, and open-access journal articles. This project launched in 2022 with financial support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant RE-252344-OLS-22 (August 1, 2022 – April 9, 2025, $458,151).
