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.
