Engaging Users and Enhancing Data through Community-Sourcing

This document discusses communitysourcing as a way to engage users and enhance data. It outlines how crowdsourcing taps into the skills of hobbyists, part-timers, and dabblers. The document recommends identifying existing digital collections, gaps in data, interested communities like hobbyists and researchers, and tools like Scripto and From the Page that can be used to support contribution and transcription. Publicity through listservs, organizations, and social media can help attract community members to contribute their skills and expertise.
