Message-Id: <199812211735.KAA32914@dns.ccit.arizona.edu> Date: Mon, 21 Dec 1998 09:23:34 -0800 From: Robin Dale <mailto:Robin_Dale@NOTES.RLG.ORG> Subject: New issue of RLG DigiNews available To: mailto:IMAGELIB@LISTSERV.ARIZONA.EDU
The December 1998 (Volume 2, Number 6) issue of RLG DigiNews is now available at:http://www.rlg.org/preserv/diginews/ (from all points other than Europe) or http://www.thames.rlg.org/preserv/diginews/ (from Europe)
Oya Rieger, Co-Editor of RLG DigiNews, opens this issue's feature article, "Digital Archiving: Approaches for Statistical Files, Moving Images, and Audio Recordings." The article addresses digital archiving from a different viewpoint - responding to the digital preservation needs presented by different types of digital material. A set of co-authors describe the problems and issues associated with their specific material (statistical files, moving images and audio files) in: - Archiving Statistical Data: The Data Archive at the University of Essex by Simon Musgrave and Bridget Winstanley; - Universal Preservation Format (UPF): Conceptual Framework by Thom Shepard; and - Norwegian Digital Radio Archive Initiative by Svein Arne Brygfjeld and Svein Arne Solbakk.
This issue's technical feature addresses a question often raised at the beginning of digital imaging projects - "What kind of digital camera or scanner should I use?" Peter Hirtle, Assistant Director, Cornell Institute for Digital Collections, and Carol DeNatale, Registrar, Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University, relate their experience in "Selecting a Digital Camera: the Cornell Museum Online Project."
Rounding out this issue is a current calendar of events, project announcements, a highlighted web site, and a FAQ regarding technical issues associated with UMI's Digital Vault Initiative.
