School for Scanning: Los
Angeles
Creating, Managing, and
Preserving Digital Assets
April 23-25,
2003
The conference is funded in
part by the National Endowment for the Humanities. It is cosponsored by The Getty Center,
Amigos Library Services, Imaging and Preservation Services, and
The Balboa Art Conservation
Center.
What is the School for
Scanning? This conference provides current,
essential information for collections managers who are seeking to create,
manage, and preserve digital assets.
Participants will leave the conference better equipped to make informed
choices regarding management of their digital projects. Although significant technical content
will be presented, this is not a technician-training program. Conference content will
include:
Copyright and Other Legal
Issues
Text and Image
Digitization
Content Selection for
Digitization
Descriptive, Structural, and
Administrative
Standards
Metadata
Quality Control and
Costs
Digital Longevity and
Preservation
Who Should Attend? Administrators within cultural institutions, as well as librarians, archivists, curators, and other cultural or natural resource managers dealing with paper-based collections, including photographs, will find the School for Scanning conference highly relevant and worthwhile. Since the complexion of this conference evolves with the technology, it would be beneficial to attend even if you have participated in a previous School for Scanning. An audience of 300 or more attendees is expected.
What does the Conference Cost? The cost of the conference is $365 for registrations postmarked on or before April 4, 2003. Participants will be responsible for all of their travel, meals, and lodging costs. For information about special hotel and airline fares, see the Registration Information at www.nedcc.org. Registration applications will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis.
