ADDITIONAL DIGITIZATION TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
FROM THE ILLINOIS DIGITIZATION INSTIUTE
The Illinois Digitization Institute at the University of Illinois Library
at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), in partnership with the Illinois State Library
and the Illinois Heritage Association, is offering two more of their
Basics and Beyond on-line digitization training courses in 2005.
This three-week on-line course allows busy professionals the opportunity
to learn more about digitization from the convenience of their own
computers! Using the Web, participants can access the on-line course
materials, have access to a course facilitator and digitization experts,
engage in on-line discussions, solve real world digitization problems, and
do readings on various aspects of the digitization process. Cost: $300.00
per person.
Courses will be directed towards participants from libraries, museums,
archives, and other cultural heritage institutions who are seeking
in-depth digitization training to enable them to apply information
standards and best practices in their 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
Courses are scheduled for July 11- 29, 2005 and September 12 – 30, 2005.
Illinois cultural heritage associations may be able to qualify for a
scholarship to cover the cost of either of these courses.
