Digital Imaging Basics: Creating Faithful Digital Surrogates
June 1 - 30, 2008

http://www.simmons.edu/gslis/continuinged/workshops/online.shtml#online_a23
As librarians and archivists consider digitization as a way of providing
broader access to the treasures in our care, how can we ensure that we
digitize responsibly? Anyone can buy a desktop scanner and start
scanning, but what does it take to produce digital objects that can
serve as faithful surrogates for their analog counterparts? How can we
create digital objects that can be managed and preserved over time? In
terms of time and resources, what must we invest in the digitization
process, and how can we protect that investment? This workshop will
provide an introduction to the techniques required to convert
paper-based library and archive collections to digital formats, with an
emphasis on creating high quality digital masters. Topics will include
scanning and digital photography, selecting equipment, color management
techniques, benchmarking image quality, file format options, capturing
technical metadata, digitization workflow, and working with vendors.
