The Illinois Digitization Institute at the University of Illinois Library
at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), through a National Leadership Grant from the
Institute of Museum and Library Services, is offering a new digitization
training opportunity. It is a 3-week web-based course followed by a 2-day,
intensive hands-on workshop which will take place at the UIUC campus.
Course participants will use the on-line course time to engage in on-line
discussions, solve real world digitization problems, and do readings on
various aspects of the digitization process. Once the on-line portion is
complete, participants will travel to the UIUC campus for two days to work
hands-on with scanners, digital cameras, and other image capture devices,
plus they will create metadata, work with digital imaging and image
management software.
The course will be directed towards participants from libraries, museums,
archives, and other institutions who are seeking in-depth digitization
instruction to work with cultural heritage materials. Discussions and
assignments will focus on the following topics:
* Benefits and costs of digitization projects
* Issues involved with designing and evaluating digitization projects=
,
and goal-setting
* Selection of materials for digitization
* Determining the best way to digitize a collection and make it
accessible to the target audience
* Planning issues including: budgeting, workflow, copyright, storage,
and preservation
* Metadata: best practices and creation
* Evaluating, selecting, and purchasing digitization equipment
* Basic scanning and image manipulation
* Delivery and access of digital images
The workshop will also include guest experts in the areas of digitization
and preservation.
The upcoming course will be held on September 13 =96 October 1 with the
2-day
workshop on October 4 & 5
Cost for the course is $300.00 per person, plus travel, accommodations, and
per diem for the 2-day workshop. Illinois cultural heritage associations
may be able to qualify for a scholarship to cover the cost of the course.
