Announcing the availability of Digital Imaging for Libraries and
Archives

The Department of Preservation and Conservation, Cornell University
Library, is pleased to announce the publication of Digital Imaging for
Libraries and Archives by Anne R. Kenney and Stephen Chapman.  This 200
page guide represents a greatly expanded version of the training manual
used in Cornell's series of digital imaging workshops.   It begins with
a theoretical overview of the key concepts, vocabulary, and challenges
associated with digital conversion of paper- and film-based materials.
This is followed by an overview of the hardware/software,
communications, and managerial considerations associated with
implementing a technical infrastructure to support a full imaging
program.  Additional chapters present information on the creation of
databases and indexes, the implications of outsourcing imaging services,
converting photographs and film intermediates, issues associated with
providing long-term access to digital information, and suggestions for
continuing education.  The guide is issued in loose-leaf format to
facilitate updates and includes two formula cards designed to assist
librarians and archivists with determining conversion, storage, and
access requirements.

The price of the guide is $75.00 plus $5.00 for shipping and handling
within the U.S., $8.00 for Canada and $20.00 for all other countries.
Orders must be prepaid, with checks made payable to "Department of
Preservation, Cornell University," with payment in U.S. funds.  For
ordering information, contact Pamela Clearwater, B38 Olin Library,
Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, 607-255- 9841 or [log in to unmask]
