"Ready, Set, Digitize" a series of 10 one-day workshops

 

The goal of Ready, Set, Digitize! is to improve the ability of library staff at all levels to make good decisions related to digitizing. Well-executed products will have great value to the many potential audiences for digital materials: K-12, researchers, tourists, genealogists, and others focused on local or regional materials. Experts from many specializations will present all phases of developing, implementing, and maintaining digitized collections. This comprehensive educational program will cover project management, copyright and intellectual property rights, scanning, metadata, preservation of digital objects, sustainability and maintenance of digital projects, and promotion and use of digital collections.

 

All workshops (May 2007 through February 2008) will be one-day sessions (9:30 am-3:30 pm) held at the Country Inn & Suites in Cortland, NY. Workshops can also be attended as stand-alone sessions and will cost $30 for SCRLC and CLRC members ($35 for non-members). For further details about this and all SCRLC training sessions, please visit the SCRLC calendar at http://www.lakenet.org/scrlc/calendar.html

 

This series is co-sponsored by SCRLC (South Central Regional Library Council) and CLRC (Central NY Library Resources Council) and supported in part by Federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds awarded to the New York State Library by the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
