This symposium will help library and special collection staff to plan, create and provide access to a variety of materials in a digital collection. As Internet users begin to take digital access for granted, archivist, librarians and collection managers must deal with the problem that not all information "assets" have the same characteristics. A photograph and a newspaper have different digitization and access requirements. In addition libraries and archivists must also deal with electronically published materials such as websites and government documents that never see "hard copy".
Experts from a variety of digitization projects will address these topics:
Material Concerns -- Capture, Format and Search
Digitally-born information
Newspapers and text documents
Pictorial documents and objects
Digital Repository
What is a Digital Repository?
Create and manage a digital repository: to work collaboratively or independently?
Frequently Asked Questions:
How can I fund my digitization project?
How do I compare the management capability of integrated library systems (example: Innovative Interfaces, Inc.) with digital collection systems (example: ContentDM)?
Can I or do I want to sell my images?
Digital Resources:
Who's doing what in California? How can they help me?
