Managing Digital Imaging Projects: An RLG Workshop


Following on the heels of October's successful workshop held at the
Smithsonian Institution, RLG is pleased to offer its second 2.5-day
workshop designed to assist librarians, archivists, curators, and
preservation administrators in managing digital imaging projects.
Through lectures, demonstrations, and group exercises, participants
will learn to:

     *  set realistic goals and objectives
     *  benchmark imaging and indexing requirements
     *  determine necessary technical infrastructure to support
        imaging and access (hardware, software, network,
        communication protocols)
     *  prepare budgets (including the use of the RLG Worksheet
        for Estimating Digital Reformatting Projects)
     *  identify facilities, space, and staffing needs
     *  develop an RFI & RFP from models provided, select
        vendor(s), prepare a contract for services, and develop
        on-going relationships
     *  monitor project activities and schedule
     *  establish a quality control program
     *  collaborate with others to provide access to and
        maintenance of digital collections.

The curriculum was developed for RLG through a contract with Cornell
University's Department of Preservation and Conservation.  Taught by
Anne Kenney, Associate Director of the Department of Preservation
and Conservation, Cornell University and Oya Rieger, Digital
Projects Librarian, Cornell University, the workshop will be offered
four times in 1998.  The first workshop was held on October 27-29,
1997 at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC.  The upcoming
workshop will be held on February 4-6, 1998 at the University of
Chicago.  The remaining workshops are tentatively scheduled as
follows:

          May 13-15, 1998 (University of Leeds, UK)
          May 18-20, 1998 (University of Leeds, UK)
          November, 1998 (CA)

How to Register:

Registration for the workshops is on a first-come, first-served
basis, with RLG members having priority over non-members.
Enrollment for each workshop is limited to 35 participants. Online
registration is available through the RLG PRESERV web site
<http://www.rlg.org/preserv/>.

The prepaid registration fee for the workshop is $250 for RLG
members and $400 for non-members.  The cost includes the course
workbook as well as lunch on days one and two.  Additionally,
workshop participants may purchase a copy of Digital Imaging for
Libraries and Archives by Anne R. Kenney and Stephen Chapman
(Cornell University Library, 1996) for the reduced rate of $50.
(Though not required for the workshop, this notebook is a valuable
source of information and is recommended reading for the course.)
Transportation and hotel accommodations will be the responsibility
of participants (email with hotel reservation information will be
sent to those whose applications have been accepted).

Registration for the February, 1998 (Chicago, IL) workshop is now
