    Moving Theory into Practice: Cornell's Digital Imaging Tutorial http://www.library.cornell.edu/preservation/tutorial/index.html

    The Department of Preservation and Conservation of Cornell University Library announces the public release of its online digital imaging tutorial, Moving Theory into Practice. Although designed as an adjunct to the recently published book and workshop series known by the same name, the tutorial can also serve as a standalone introduction to the use of digital imaging to convert and make accessible cultural heritage materials.

    Produced with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the tutorial is currently available in English, with a Spanish language version to follow in December 2000 (from the same Web address). The tutorial consists of sections encompassing all the major aspects of digital imaging: Selection, Conversion, Quality Control, Metadata, Technical Infrastructure, Presentation, Digital Preservation, and Management. Designed to be self-guided and self-paced, the tutorial includes frequent
    "reality checks" for evaluating the understanding of the presented material. Most sections are heavily illustrated, and provide suggestions for further reading. The tutorial also includes several tables, providing reference data on topics such as graphic file formats, compression techniques, scanner characteristics, and institutional guidelines
