For those who don't receive this mailing, I've left in the one item of
potential interest to this group. I'm sure this is not news to Normandy.

NEDCC SEMINAR ON PRESERVATION OPTIONS

"Preservation Options in a Digital World: To Film or To Scan," will be held 
March 27, 28, 29, 2001, at the Minnesota Historical Society, St. Paul

This seminar on preservation microfilming and digital imaging of paper-based 
materials will evaluate an emerging digital technology against a set of
preservation criteria and a proven preservation microfilming model.

It is designed to teach administrators critical thinking and criteria 
for evaluation: how to plan and implement projects, how to evaluate 
technology as a preservation strategy, and how to understand the 
relationship between costs and quality.  Instruction will focus on 
compliance with national and international standards as well as best 
practices for both microfilm and digital imaging.  This is not a 
technician training program.  It is a management seminar with a 
preservation focus.

After an introduction to fundamental preservation strategies, the faculty 
will present lessons learned from a decade of investigations in the 
viability of using digital technology for preservation purposes.  The 
curriculum includes in-depth discussion of the following topics:  
preparation, selection, and analysis of source material; microfilm 
quality control; the basics of digital imaging technology; project 
workflow; preservation concerns; cost and quality; and microfilm/digital 
hybrid approaches.

The presenters include:  Becky Ryder, Preservation Librarian, University of 
Kentucky; Bob Mottice, President, Mottice Micrographics, Inc.; 
Paul Conway, Head, Preservation Department, Yale University Library; 
Millie OConnell, NEDCC Preservation Consultant.

Attendance will be limited to 18 participants and early registration is 
strongly recommended.  The number of applicants from any one institution 
will also be limited.  The cost of the seminar is $275.
