This course is primarily aimed at librarians who are new to managing
special image collections and who wish to learn more about beginning a
digitization program. Through readings, individual exercises, and class
discussions, students will develop an understanding of the following key
components of digitization project planning: evaluation and preparation of
resources, building sustainable workflows and storage environments, and
usability assessment. In the first part of the course, students will become
familiar with current research into the behaviours and attitudes of
image-seekers, and they will *develop a broad understanding of how
different metadata standards for libraries, archives and museums record and
present information to the end user.* In the following weeks, we will
discuss basic steps for creating and preserving digital images, such as
choosing an appropriate scanning resolution, file naming, and devising
scale-appropriate storage methods. Students will evaluate various strategy
and planning documents in order to develop goals for their projects, and
will be given examples of workflows that can be customized for their own
use. The focus will be on providing access to collections that are being
digitized from analogue materials, but will also have applications to
born-digital collections.
Course goals:
- Increase understanding of current environment for digital images
- Experience digital collections from the user perspective, evaluating
their goals and needs
- Learn planning techniques and strategies for implementing a digitization
program
- Evaluate various approaches and standards to metadata, understand
metadata interoperability
- Learn the standard sizes, formats and techniques for scanning images
