The METRO Digitization SIG and the METRO Solos+ SIG welcome your attendance at their joint spring meeting. Topic: Waterways of New York: Creating a small digital collection using Greenstone Open Source Software (planning, process, metadata and technical issues). Speakers: Walter Valero, Tom Surprenant, and Claudia Perry Wednesday, June 7, 2006, 6:00-8:00 p.m. METRO Headquarters (57 E. 11th Street, 4th floor) New York, New York Walter Valero and colleagues will describe the development of a pilot digitization project using 103 postcards of the Erie Canal and other waterways of New York State. A subject-specific thesaurus was created, and Greenstone Digital Library software was customized to provide access to the scanned images and metadata. The presentation is specifically geared to information professionals at smaller institutions who may have limited prior knowledge of the digitization process, or to anyone interested in the basic steps of getting started from scratch on a small-scale digitization project. Demo CDs with a subset of the collection will be distributed so that attendees can experiment with various retrieval and presentation modes in Greenstone after the session, and compare the customized interface with the standard open source version available at http://www.greenstone.org/. This work was the outgrowth of two independent studies conducted at the Graduate Library School of Queens College under the supervision of Professors Karen Smith, Thomas Surprenant, and Claudia Perry. Space is limited to 50, so please RSVP your intentions to Tom Surprenant if you plan to attend ([log in to unmask]). There is no charge for this event. Refreshments will be served. Look forward to seeing you!
