To the Listserv:
It is with great pleasure that I announce the publication of Visual Resources
Asoociation Special Bulletin #14, Strategies for Transitioning to the Age of
Digital Media
by Sarah E. Cheverton and Christina B. Updike.
If you are among those searching for answers from experienced colleagues who
have successfully managed the transition to digital technology, then you will
be pleased to learn that the next publication in the VRA Special Bulletin
series of occasional papers addresses this need. This “must-have” volume is
essential for any visual resources collection contemplating or on the verge of
converting from analog to digital. Drawing upon their experience at James
Madison University, authors Sarah Cheverton and Tina Updike relate their
lessons learned as well as keys to continued success.
Read on:
This Special Bulletin identifies strategic actions that will facilitate the
change from analog to digital media for all key players. It is the result of a
workshop developed by Cheverton and Updike for presentation at the VRA Annual
Meeting 2004 and subsequently presented at the VRA Summer Educational
Institute. The emphasis is on identifying positive actions, encouraging
collaboration, and helping faculty cope with the transition to digital media.
It includes digital media surveys for professionals and instructional faculty,
summaries and action plan worksheets. A CD containing blank surveys and
worksheets for use by the home institution is included with the Special
Bulletin.
85 pages, 4 tables, illus., print bibliography and internet resources, companion
CD. Spiral-bound. $35.00.
