Managing Digital Imaging Projects: An RLG Workshop
Following on the heels of October's successful workshop held at the
Smithsonian Institution, RLG is pleased to offer its second 2.5-day
workshop designed to assist librarians, archivists, curators, and
preservation administrators in managing digital imaging projects.
Through lectures, demonstrations, and group exercises, participants
will learn to:
* set realistic goals and objectives
* benchmark imaging and indexing requirements
* determine necessary technical infrastructure to support
imaging and access (hardware, software, network,
communication protocols)
* prepare budgets (including the use of the RLG Worksheet
for Estimating Digital Reformatting Projects)
* identify facilities, space, and staffing needs
* develop an RFI & RFP from models provided, select
vendor(s), prepare a contract for services, and develop
on-going relationships
* monitor project activities and schedule
* establish a quality control program
* collaborate with others to provide access to and
maintenance of digital collections.
The curriculum was developed for RLG through a contract with Cornell
University's Department of Preservation and Conservation. Taught by
Anne Kenney, Associate Director of the Department of Preservation
and Conservation, Cornell University and Oya Rieger, Digital
Projects Librarian, Cornell University, the workshop will be offered
four times in 1998. The first workshop was held on October 27-29,
1997 at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. The upcoming
workshop will be held on February 4-6, 1998 at the University of
Chicago. The remaining workshops are tentatively scheduled as
follows:
May 13-15, 1998 (University of Leeds, UK)
May 18-20, 1998 (University of Leeds, UK)
November, 1998 (CA)

Registration for the workshops is on a first-come, first-served
