Apologies for the re-posting, but hopefully it will look better in plain text.
The Fundamentals of Digital Projects
Are you considering digitizing part of your collection? Are you interested
in getting more out of your current digitization project? The Illinois
Digitization Institute is pleased to offer a series of FREE one-day
workshops on the fundamentals of digitization for cultural heritage
institutions. Each workshop will explore the basic theories and practices
of digitization and will include numerous opportunities for hands-on learning.
Workshop participants will learn:
§ When imaging is the appropriate treatment for materials;
§ Planning for an imaging project--staffing, equipment, time
allocation, storage requirements, cost;
§ How to follow image scanning and quality standards;
§ Ways to create derivative images for access;
§ Archival and preservation practices for digital images;
§ Flatbed scanning techniques;
§ Digital photography techniques.
Workshops will last from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM and will be held at the
Grainger Engineering Library on the campus of the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign. The workshops are free, but participants are responsible
for their own transportation and lunch. Staff members at any library,
museum or archive in the state of Illinois are welcome to attend. Class
size is limited to the first 15 individuals who register. Space permitting,
we will honor requests for multiple participants from a single institution.
Workshops will be offered on the following dates:
August 28 (Tuesday)
September 20 (Thursday)
October 30 (Tuesday)
November 13 (Tuesday)
December 4 (Tuesday)
