***************FALL SYMPOSIUM SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT****************
Registration opens today for the
MINERVA 2003 SYMPOSIUM
Minnesota Resources in the Visual Arts
November 14th, 8:30-4:30 pm
at the Weisman Art Museum
About the symposium:
Visual resources are being digitized to preserve collections, enhance
education and provide research tools that are easily and widely accessible.
These digital image resources are an exciting development in step with our
increasingly visual culture, and their availability has been both prolific
and well-received. Consequently, standards and practices for the design,
usage and maintenance of digital image resources demand the critical
attention of institutions and professionals developing these collections.
The Minnesota Electronic Resources in the Visual Arts (MINERVA) 2003
Symposium offers an enriching program that focuses on the fundamental
issues affecting digital image collections.
In its third year, MINERVA ’03 will be held at the Weisman Art Museum on
Friday, November 14th. Research professionals from Minnesota libraries,
museums, historical centers, academic and other private or public research
institutions interested in or actively developing digital image collections
are encouraged to attend. The symposium is an opportunity to learn about
digital preservation policies, metadata standards and pedagogical practices.
MINERVA ’03 welcomes three nationally recognized guest speakers: Günter
Waibel, Program Officer from the Research Libraries Group (RLG) and
specialist in digital content and preservation; Bradley D. Westbrook,
Librarian from the University of California, San Diego, a participant in
the Union Catalog for Art Images project funded by the Andrew Mellon
Foundation; and Christina Updike, Visual Resources Curator at James Madison
University (JMU), a leading collaborator in the JMU Digital Image Database
initiative.
The MINERVA ’03 program also presents a panel session with three special
guests representing digital image projects from around the state along with
the featured national speakers. A founder of the Minnesota Digital Library
Coalition (MDLC), Professor Keith Ewing of St. Cloud State University will
moderate the discussion.
