Abstract
The Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) is a consortium of major natural history museum libraries, botanical libraries, and research institutions that cooperate to digitize and make accessible the legacy biodiversity literature. Through an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)-funded grant called Expanding Access to Biodiversity Literature (EABL), BHL has adapted its digitization and metadata workflows to accommodate small organizations outside the consortium that would like to contribute unique content to BHL but lack the resources to do so. This requires innovative approaches to ingesting born digital and already-digitized material; training partners on BHL's metadata creation tool, Macaw; expanded copyright metadata and display fields in the user interface; and definition of articles and other bibliographic segments.
