The Northeast Document Conservation Center presents Reformatting for Preservation in a Digital World: To Scan or To Film: A Workshop on Preservation Microfilming and Digital Scanning; October 7-9, 1997 at the University of California at Los Angeles, Department of Library and Information Science in the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies; Moore Hall, Room 3140, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1520 As we approach and enter the 21st century, digital technologies will have a profound impact on the way institutions provide access to information. But will digitization also become a tool of the preservation community? NEDCC's reformatting workshop will address this question. Emphasis will be divided equally between general principles of reformatting, preservation microfilming and digital scanning for preservation. The workshop is designed to train project administrators 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 the "best practice" for digital projects will be discussed. It is not a technician training program. The program includes hands-on experience and teaches skills for: planning reformatting projects selecting and preparing materials selecting and evaluating a vendor microfilm and imaging technology inspection and quality control evaluating digital imaging for preservation The sessions will introduce preservation microfilming and digital imaging technologies and compare their commonalties and differences.Presented by: Andrew Raymond, Regional Advisory Officer, New York State Archives; Lisa Fox, Preservation Consultant; Eileen Usovicz, CBR Consulting Services, Inc.; Guest Speaker: Anne Gilliland-Swetland, Assistant Professor, Department of Library and Information Science, University of California at Los Angeles.
