SOLINET, Inc., the Southeastern Library Network, is pleased to
announce the following workshop:
***********DIGITAL IMAGING: PRESERVATION ISSUES****************
The increase in digital imaging projects for library and archival
collections raises many issues related to selection, resource
allocation, and long-term access (preservation). This two-day
workshop provides an introduction to the technology of digital
imaging and addresses the following questions: What collections or
resources are appropriate for digital conversion? How will digital
files be maintained? Who is responsible for ensuring future access
to this digital information? Is future access necessary? Through
lecture, discussion and case studies participants will gain the
tools needed to make informed decisions about imaging project
planning.
The instructors are Faye Phillips, Assistant Dean of Libraries for
Special Collections, and Charles Thomas, Archivist, both of
Louisiana State University.
The two-day workshop will be held at the University of South
Florida, Tampa, FL on Thursday-Friday, July 22-23, 1999 from 9am -
4pm.
Cost is $155 SOLINET members ($145 early bird, $180 late
