$25,200. My Upload aims to make it easy for library users to contribute to digital collections through an online, open-source upload tool that corresponds to a metadata template for simple ingestion into any digital collection database. Columbus Metropolitan Library will document the process in a white paper, release the software under an open-source license, and publish it on GitHub.
