A 2010 OCLC report found that an internet-accessible finding aid existed for only 44 percent of archival collections. Undescribed collections are essentially hidden from users, and much of the blame can be assigned to the strain of processing backlogs. Extensible processing offers an alternative, allowing collection managers to first establish a baseline level of access to all holdings, then conduct additional processing based on user demand and ongoing assessment. Adhering to archival principles and standards, this flexible approach emphasizes decision-making and prioritization. Santamaria, recipient of the Society of American Archivists' 2013 Coker Award for innovative developments in archival description, has overseen the processing of thousands of linear feet of organizational records and personal papers. Showing how technical services staff can reassert control of collections while improving user experience, in this invaluable book he Lays out the six key principles of extensible processing, from creating a baseline level of access to all collections material and crafting standardized, structured descriptions to managing archival materials in the aggregate Provides a start-to-finish workflow adaptable to any collection, with practical tips such as using collection assessment surveys to reduce backlog Advises how to limit physical handling and processing through a holistic approach Explains the use of Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS) and Encoded Archival Description (EAD) Covers recent developments in the digitization of archives, including alternative strategies like low-resolution scanning and repurposing existing metadata Presents several case studies, ranging from a one person shop to large universities, that include examples of processes, systems, software, and metadata Archivists and special collections librarians will find in this book the tools, confidence, and freedom to improve user experience through extensible processing

The FORGOTTEN HORRORS series of film-commentary books taps author Michael H. Price's backlog of monographs, magazine columns and articles, and film-festival curatorial notes for a whopping 360-page anthology of materials long out-of-print. Centerpieces include surveys of Val Lewton's acclaimed chillers of the 1940s, of Universal Pictures' less noticeable chillers and offbeat oddities, and of Western movies indebted to the great frontier painters. The book also veers away at strategic points from the more rigidly defined horror movies to consider a wealth of art-museum topics, of comic-book artistry, and of indigenous music -- all in the service of FORGOTTEN HORRORS' original argument that "horror is where you find it." The deepened context afford a vivid portrait of Price and his late colleague, George E. Turner, as scholars of the Popular Culture who also happen to take one essential genre seriously enough to place it in a broader perspective.

This manual brings together information on all phases of seed handling and presents the results of more than 20 years of studies. Forest Service field personnel at several experiment stations and regional offices furnished a backlog of source material for treatments of individual genera. The manual consists of two main parts. Part 1 formulates general principles on the various phases of seed handling from formation of the seed to sowing. Part 2, which forms the larger part of the manual, provides relatively detailed but concise information for 444 species and varieties of trees and shrubs; this includes data on distribution and use, discussions of seeding habits, methods of seed collection, extraction and storage, seed germination, and nursery and field practice.

Judge Brocton Lockwood wore a wire for the FBI to help clean up a corrupt Chicago traffic court.In 1978 newly appointed Associate Judge Lockwood reported to Chicago to fulfill the obligation all southern Illinois judges have to serve six weeks each year to reduce the backlog in the Cook County system.Corruption so pervaded traffic court that Lockwood, who at first merely wanted to complete his Cook County stint and go home, was moved to contact the FBI: "As the time for our meeting approached, I brooded on the potential for leaks. I created all kinds of worrisome scenarios that kept me awake at night."Once committed, Lockwood (codename Winston) had to fight not only a corrupt system and his own fears but also frustration engendered by official timidity and the grindingly slow bureaucracy of the FBI. "My spy duties seemed extremely dull and tedious 99 percent of the time; the other 1 percent was filled with terror." The story is exciting, it is true, it put criminals behind bars, and it effected changes in the Cook County court system.Brocton Lockwood resigned his judgeship after Operation Greylord. He currently practices law in Marion, Illinois.
