Abstract

The article examines the influence of More Products, Less Process (MPLP) on digitization practices and discusses how a major digitization project involving the John Muir Papers had decision making that reflects elements of the MPLP philosophy. It further analyzes how the minimalist metadara practices supported by MPLP require careful implementation with the context of evolving user expectations for locating information on the Web. It cites the relevance of MPLP to digitization in making user access paramount, embracing flexibility and expending greatest effort on the most deserving materials. It notes how the Muir Papers project shows how different series in the same collection can legitimately merit differing levels of image capture and description.
