Moving Theory into Practice: Cornell's Digital Imaging Tutorial
http://www.library.cornell.edu/preservation/tutorial/index.html
The Department of Preservation and Conservation of Cornell University
Library announces the public release of its online digital imaging
tutorial, Moving Theory into Practice. Although designed as an
adjunct to the recently published book and workshop series known by
the same name, the tutorial can also serve as a standalone
introduction to the use of digital imaging to convert and make
accessible cultural heritage materials.
Produced with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities,
the tutorial is currently available in English, with a Spanish
language version to follow in December 2000 (from the same Web
address). The tutorial consists of sections encompassing all the
major aspects of digital imaging: Selection, Conversion, Quality
Control, Metadata, Technical Infrastructure, Presentation, Digital
Preservation, and Management. Designed to be self-guided and
self-paced, the tutorial includes frequent "reality checks" for
evaluating the understanding of the presented material. Most sections
are heavily illustrated, and provide suggestions for further reading.
The tutorial also includes several tables, providing reference data
on topics such as graphic file formats, compression techniques,
scanner characteristics, and institutional guidelines
