[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Spaces are still available in the 2-day workshop "Introduction to Managing a
Digitization Program", Thursday, April 15th and Friday, April 16th, 2010 

This two-day workshop will introduce participants to the key components of
digitizing analogue archives, including:  writing a digitization policy,
determining roles and responsibilities in sustaining a digitization program
(not just a project), how to choose file formats and storage media.

 

 Special attention will be paid to audio and photographic records.
Additionally, participants will learn about the types of metadata they
should capture and will look briefly at four metadata schema:  Dublin Core,
EAD, PREMIS, and METS.  Finally, the concept of the trusted digital
repository will be introduced and there will be demonstrations of some
examples of digital repository software. Participants will be asked to
complete a visioning exercise at the start, midway, and at the conclusion of
the workshop.
