[Baynet] Fwd: Digital Symposium offered in California

[Trudy Levy]

My apologies for cross postings, but I thought you all might be
interested in this symposium.

Several of the California library consortia are co-sponsoring a
symposium on digitization for libraries and information agencies.
Supported in part by LSTA funds through the California State Library,
this symposium features some of the country's experts on digitization
resources. The presenters will provide guidance for library, museum
and corporate library staff to plan or enhance their agency's
digitization and electronic preservation projects.
Put April 19, 2007 on your calendar:

The full announcement and registration are available on the Califa
site: http://califa.org/digitizationsymposium/announcement.php

DIGITIZING IN A MATERIAL WORLD
A Symposium on Planning, Preserving and Accessing a Variety of Materials
April 19, 2007 - 10AM - 4:30PM
San Jose State University/San Jose Public Library:
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library, Room 225, San Jose
(Note: the symposium will be repeated in the Los Angeles area, Fall, 2007)

Sponsored by:
Califa Library Group
California Community College Library Consortium
California Digital Library
Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium

Lunch will be provided by Northern Micrographics

This symposium will help library and special collection staff to plan,
create and provide access to a variety of materials in a digital
collection. As Internet users begin to take digital access for
granted, archivist, librarians and collection managers must deal with
the problem that not all information "assets" have the same
characteristics. A photograph and a newspaper have different
digitization and access requirements. In addition libraries and
archivists must also deal with electronically published materials such
as websites and government documents that never see "hard copy".

Experts from a variety of digitization projects will address these topics:

Material Concerns -- Capture, Format and Search
Digital Repositories & Digital Resources
Evaluating Software Options
Copyright and Selling Digital Products
How to Make it Happen
