Key Recommendations

  • Prioritize High-Value Content: Focus digitization and metadata efforts on materials the public actually wants to see.
  • Adopt Modern Systems: Replace the aging “MIKAN” archival system with one that supports AI-driven indexing and “Linked Data.”
  • Improve User Autonomy: Integrate help tools, tutorials, and simplified research guides directly into the search applications.
