> What is the School for Scanning?  This conference provides a rationale for
> the use of digital technology by managers of paper-based collections in
> cultural institutions.  Specifically, it equips participants to discern
> the
> applicability of digital technology in their given circumstances and
> prepares them to make critical decisions regarding management of digital
> projects.  Although technical issues will be addressed, this is not a
> technician training program.  Conference content will include:
>
> Developing Institutional Infrastructures to Support Digital Initiatives
> Content Selection for Digitization
> Text and Image Scanning
> Quality Control and Costs
> Copyright, Fair Use, and Other Legal Issues Surrounding Digital Technology
> The Essentials of Metadata
> Digital Preservation: Theory and Reality
> Maximizing the Utility of Digital Information
>
> Who Should Attend?  Administrators within cultural institutions, as well
> as
> librarians, archivists, curators, and other cultural or natural resource
> managers dealing with paper-based collections, including photographs, will
> find the School for Scanning conference highly relevant and worthwhile.
> Since the complexion of this conference evolves with the technology, it
> would be beneficial to attend even if you have participated in a previous
> School for Scanning.  An audience of 150 or more attendees is expected.
