DIGITIZATION FUNDAMENTALS
WORKSHOP REGISTRATION
August 3 & 4, 2006
The Illinois Digitization Institute will be
offering cultural heritage institutions a two-day workshop on digital
imaging at the Illinois State Library in
Springfield, Illinois on August 3 - 4, 2006. This workshop will
include a mixture of classroom training and
hands-on work covering the basics of digitization, including project
planning, equipment selection, what digital
images are, metadata, and more. The hands-on activities will ensure
that participants are familiar with digitization
concepts such as bit depth, resolution, and metadata creation. We
will also do hands-on image capture using
scanners and digital cameras, learn more about how to use optical
character recognition software, and create
metadata using CONTENTdm, a digital asset management system.
Participants are encouraged to bring a few items
from their own collections to use.
The following topics will be addressed:
• Digital image basics
• How to plan successful and sustainable projects
• Professional standards for digital images
• Equipment choices
• Using scanners and digital cameras to capture your images (hands-on)
• The basics of using Adobe Photoshop Elements (hands-on)
• Metadata schemes and creating metadata in CONTENTdm (hands-on)
• Creating searchable text from scanned images
using Optical Character Recognition (hands-on)
The registration fee: $95.00 per person, plus
travel expenses and lunch on your own both days
