3 WEEK ONLINE COURSE ON DIGITIZATION
The Illinois Digitization Institute is offering
more online digitization courses in 2006! The
next course will be July 10 - 28, 2006 with an
optional two-day, hands-on workshop on August 3 & 4, 2006.
Using WebCT courseware, this web-based course

discussions and solve real world digitization
problems right from their own computers. Topics to be discussed are:
• Benefits and costs of digitization projects
• Issues involved in designing, setting goals,
and evaluating digitization projects
• Planning issues including: budgeting, workflow, copyright, and delivery
• Metadata standards and metadata creation
• Selection of materials to be digitize and equipment selection
• Best practices and basic scanning and image manipulation skills
The online course will run Monday – Friday each
week, with the online portion taking
approximately two to three hours per day. Other
readings and assignments may take more time to complete.
The optional two-day, hands-on workshop will be
held at the Illinois State Library in
Springfield, Illinois. Workshop will include
image capture using scanners and digital cameras,
OCR, and metadata creation using CONTENTdm.
