IMLS Announces Registration for 2007 WebWise
Conference to be Held February 28-March 2
Washington, DC--The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)
announces open registration for the eighth annual WebWise Conference on
Libraries and Museums in the Digital World, to be held February 28 to
March 2, 2007, at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill in
Washington, D.C. The conference is sponsored annually by IMLS and is
co-hosted again this year by the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC)
and the J. Paul Getty Trust.
This year's theme is "Stewardship in the Digital Age: Managing Museum
and Library Collections for Preservation and Use." The conference will
feature presentations and panel discussions by library, museum, and
other information experts who will address issues and emerging practices
in the preservation of digital content from digitized text to
"born-digital" art. It will also provide a forum for discussing the
general state of preservation and "digital preservation readiness" in
the nation's museums and libraries and the potential for technology to
improve the management of physical collections and the documentation of
cultural heritage. Demonstrations will feature online tools for disaster
planning, projects that are addressing challenges such as preserving
audio and visual media, and projects to document and preserve tangible
and intangible cultural heritage.
Preconference workshops, requiring separate registration, will be
offered on February 28:
1) Preserving Digital Collections (half-day)
2) Sharing Images and Data: Making Access to Collections Easier and
Better (half-day)
3) Producing Broadcast-Quality, Preservation-Worthy Video (full day).
