Come to one of LITC s one-day short courses on

                        Digital Imaging Awareness

We are planning three events to be hosted by LITC at South Bank
University early in 2001. The first of these HERoBAC funded gatherings
is being offered to the Education sector on January 31.  Other offerings

for interested parties in the Healthcare/Bioscience and the Cultural
Heritage sectors will follow, on February 7 and 14 respectively.

These events are intended for anyone wishing to explore the key issues
in digital imaging, learn about best practice from practitioners, and be

inspired by case studies.  They are not intended to be over technical,
though pointers will be given to sources of advice and information at
whatever depth desired. The emphasis on case studies is intended to
compliment technical and standards training, such as provided through
TASI within HE, and encourage the wider use of digital images.

For a flavour of the day planned for the Educational Sector, we shall
look at pitfalls and the effective use of digital images in contexts
such as VLEs, CD-ROM, distance learning, and library websites in a
variety of subject areas. Invited speakers will pass on some of their
knowledge in this rapidly developing area, made possible and affordable
by technology advances. The scope will also include an overview of
issues affecting the use of pictures in document imaging.  Examples will

be drawn from DNER projects in HE, from FE, the schools sector and the
corporate training sector. All participants are invited to share their
experiences, though there will be no obligation to do so! LIS
professionals should find the subject useful in terms of CPD and those
recently roped into NOF-digitise and similar projects should also
benefit.

You are invited to indicate your interest in participation, without
obligation, by email to:

Paul Sandford, LITC  [[log in to unmask]]

Please indicate which target audience you wish to be included in:
Education, Cultural Heritage or Healthcare/Bioscience.

Further details will be sent to interested parties early in the New
Year. A modest charge of #30 will be made to cover costs for lunch and
the venue.

If you are at Online Information 2001 this week, do visit us on the SBU
stand 294

We look forward to hearing from you. Finally, apologies for any cross
posting to email lists.
