Managing Digital Imaging Projects: An RLG Workshop
Workshops in Canberra and Melbourne sponsored by the National Library of Australia, the Research Libraries Group and AIMA
The National Library of Australia and the Research Libraries Group (RLG) in cooperation with AIMA, is pleased to bring to Australia the Managing Digital Imaging Projects: An RLG Workshop in December 1998.
The National Library sees these workshops as a valuable opportunity for Australian institutions to improve the management of the digitisation process, which is of such importance in facilitating access to information resources.
The two and a half day workshops are 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 Universitys Department of Preservation and Conservation, and taught by Anne Kenney, Associate Director of the Department of Preservation and Conservation, Cornell University and Oya Rieger, Digital Projects Librarian, Cornell University.
