Managing Digital Imaging Projects: An RLG WorkshopFollowing on the heels of October's successful workshop held at the Smithsonian Institution, RLG is pleased to offer its second 2.5-day workshop designed to assist librarians, archivists, curators, and preservation administrators in managing digital imaging projects. Through lectures, demonstrations, and group exercises, participants will learn to:
* set realistic goals and objectives * benchmark imaging and indexing requirements * determine necessary technical infrastructure to support imaging and access (hardware, software, network, communication protocols) * prepare budgets (including the use of the RLG Worksheet for Estimating Digital Reformatting Projects) * identify facilities, space, and staffing needs * develop an RFI & RFP from models provided, select vendor(s), prepare a contract for services, and develop on-going relationships * monitor project activities and schedule * establish a quality control program * collaborate with others to provide access to and maintenance of digital collections.
The curriculum was developed for RLG through a contract with Cornell University's Department of Preservation and Conservation. Taught by Anne Kenney, Associate Director of the Department of Preservation and Conservation, Cornell University and Oya Rieger, Digital Projects Librarian, Cornell University, the workshop will be offered four times in 1998. The first workshop was held on October 27-29, 1997 at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. The upcoming workshop will be held on February 4-6, 1998 at the University of Chicago. The remaining workshops are tentatively scheduled as follows:
May 13-15, 1998 (University of Leeds, UK) May 18-20, 1998 (University of Leeds, UK) November, 1998 (CA)
