    <pre> The Northeast Document Conservation Center Presents To Film or To Scan: Preservation Options in a Digital World June 5-7, 2002, Cheyenne, Wyoming

    A Workshop on Preservation Microfilming & Digital Imaging of Paper-Based Materials

    Digital technology is having a profound impact on the way institutions provide access to information. But is digitization a preservation strategy as well? NEDCC s workshop series will address that question.

    The workshop will explore two reformatting technologies: preservation microfilming and digital imaging. The similarities and marked differences of the technologies will be compared and evaluated. The faculty will discuss lessons learned from preservation microfilming projects that can be applied to digital imaging projects.

    The workshop is designed to train project administration in institutions to plan, implement, and manage reformatting projects. Instruction will focus on decision-making skills. Compliance with national standards and RLG guidelines for preservation microfilming will be emphasized and best practices for digital projects will be discussed. This workshop is NOT a technician training program. Rather, the program emphasizes the following:

    7 Choosing an appropriate reformatting technology 7 Management objectives met through reformatting 7 Digital preservation 7 Microfilming technology and quality control 7 Digital imaging technology 7 Preservation metadata

    Presented by: Steve Dalton, Director, Field Service, Northeast Document Conservation Center; Wes Boomgaarden, PreservationOfficer and Project Director, Ohio State University; Bob Mottice, President, Mottice Micrographics, Inc.; Paul Conway, Director, Information Libraries Technology Services, Duke University.
