Apologies if you receive this more than once.
The Humanities Advanced Technology and Information Institute (HATII) of the
University of Glasgow is pleased to announce the fifth international
Digitisation Summer
School, June 30th - July 5th 2002. Full information and course details can
be found on the HATII web pages at:
http://www.hatii.arts.gla.ac.uk/DigiSS02/
The availability of high-quality digital content is central to improved
public access, teaching, and research. Archivists, librarians, and museum
professionals are among the many groups that are increasingly involved in
creating digital resources to improve access and understanding to their
collections. Skills in understanding the principles and best practice in
the digitisation of primary textual and image resources have broad value.
Participants in the course will examine the advantages of developing
digital collections of heritage materials, as well as investigate issues
involved in creating, curating, and managing access to such collections.
The lectures will be supplemented by seminars and practical exercises. In
these, participants will apply the practical skills they acquire to the
digitisation of an analogue collection which they have selected (print,
image e.g. photographic or slide, music manuscripts, or map). The focus
will be on working with primary source material not otherwise available in
digital form.
The one-week intensive course will consist of lectures; seminars;
lab-based practicals (offering both guided tuition, as well as an
opportunity for individual practice); and visits to the Glasgow University
Library.
Places are limited on the course, so please register early to confirm a
place.
