Digitization tends to squash things. It’s easy to forget that the objects on your screen have depth and texture. These qualities are hard to interpret from an image. You can read about this #booksquashing in an old blog post that is still relevant today: https://t.co/O6rFeaEsPF
TIL that @columbialib was one of only 3 US higher ed subscribers (with Harvard and what's now U of SC) to Audubon's Birds of America.
I also learned that it's really hard to capture size on a phone #booksquashing
In this image, the light on the facing page gives you a sense of how smooth and shiny the painted pages are in real life. https://t.co/YdrQAk8wZT #PolonskyGerman #booksquashing
Sometimes, we come across text that we just can't digitise, like the back of this volvelle in Or 10520 😢 #booksquashing But you can look at the rest of the manuscript, including the volvelle itself here https://t.co/goxmnF0Zu2
Look what @bla222 did with our #booksquashing myriorama! Divers Italian scenes assembled before our eyes. #IIIF
Fascinating reflections by @e_stanf on the @bodleianlibs #booksquashing project, facilitating human encounters with digitised objects. Digital as just one step in a long line of interventions and interpretations of the object. #BSDP18 @CRASSHlive
How does @BodleianLibs digitise objects that are made to be used? Even armed with good intention and a clear idea of what needs to be captured, it's not always that straightforward, explains @TimDungate: https://t.co/Q9cNBQTTsV #BookSquashing
'It's easy to forget that the object represented on your screen may have had a long, rich life' – @bodleianlibs looks at the ups and downs of digitising historic manuscripts: https://t.co/HmjG5CQgWi #booksquashing
Just added facsimiles of the Worms Mahazor & the Darmstadt Haggadah to my "books to pull" list for the Jewish Book course this semester.
Might have to pull up the digital version of the Kennicott Bible as well, so the word #booksquashing can make an appearance :) @BDLSS
I missed this while away but it's a glorious reminder of the limits (as of now) of digitising library collections. @bodleianlibs' #booksquashing tweets are a #thingofbeauty. (And I can't wait until the smell of books can be digitised as well.)

Remember the volvelles we shared for #booksquashing? @BL_HebrewMSS have turned one of theirs into a glorious gif.
We found a volvelle and got excited so we made you a gif #HebrewProject Or 10520, a calendrical treatise from 1744–45
EXCELLENT FASCINATING RE-MINDING Bodleian's compare contrast discuss advantages limitations re: digitized images compared to physical look feel smell size history texture human handling & creating realities #booksquashing / https://t.co/xKSPI0mCKn / https://t.co/HSqnc6m78q
#BookSquashing!
For anyone who geeks out on the processes of digitization!! (That's everyone, right?)
We hope you enjoyed our #booksquashing look at the physical side of our digital collections! A reminder that as well as Tweets, there are longer posts on the @bodleianlibs Medium blog: https://t.co/bYj9uzw0xx

@hchesner Totally agree - the #booksquashing story has been great to keep an eye on. Thank you @BDLSS!

Fascinating thread on limitations of #librarydigitisation @bodleianlibs. Imaging & digitally presenting #library objects is a creative process, with limitations! #booksquashing takes a nuanced look at how flat images can hide physicality and lived history of #culturalheritage
Now that our #booksquashing story is complete, why not read it all again from the very beginning? https://t.co/WITHrD6gBm
65 posts from your earnest friends at @BDLSS about the edge cases of digitization, with guest appearances by @BodCons and @RareBooksOfBod. It's a can't-miss. #booksquashing

The good news is that creating a facsimile of interaction for digitized objects like jigsaws and myrioramas isn't impossible, as this experimental #IIIF-powered tool demonstrates: https://t.co/5LuyVkJIq6
