and disadvantages of digital imaging; how to plan successful and
sustainable projects; equipment choices; digitization techniques;
professional standards; and making use of the Illinois Digital Archives
(IDA). Registration is $45, and covers lunch, refreshments, and handouts.
These workshops are part of a series of on-site and on-line training
