Larry Wentzel
Digital Conversion Production Manager
Digital Content and Collections · Library Information TechnologyAbout me
I joined U-M Library in 2008 as the Digital Conversion Production Manager. My role centers on managing the digitization of books and other flat media, objects, audio, and moving image collections through the Digital Conversion Unit, whether done inhouse and through our digitization vendors. If you have a collection that you want to digitize, are looking at digitization equipment and don't know what to consider, or have questions about digitization standards and workflows, feel free to contact me.
My current committee memberships include: Audio/Moving Image Digitization Team (chair), Digital Content & Collections Content Triage (member), Digital Preservation Steering Committee (member), and LIT Coordinating Group (member). I am also a member of the LEO-GLAM union.
I have a master's degree in Art History, a bachelor's degree in Art, and for a few years, I was even a graphic designer.
