Dear colleagues
The JISC's Technical Advisory Service for Images is pleased to announce the
following workshops for March and April 2004. TASI's workshop programme
covers all aspects of digital imaging; providing practical hands-on
training.
March 25th - Image Capture for Beginners
An introduction and overview of digital imaging, including practical
exercises using a scanner and digital camera. Just the thing to get you
past all the digital jargon and using the equipment effectively in your day
to day work. This is the first in a series of three TASI image capture
workshops. Will be run at TASI's training suite at the University of
Bristol.
March 30th - Creating Quality Metadata for Digital Images
To the uninitiated, metadata can seem a dry and complicated issue. This
workshop takes a lively and practical approach. It considers metadata
schemas and controlled vocabularies and looks at how these can be used,
pragmatically, within a comprehensive metadata framework. This workshop is
complemented by TASI's Image Management course (April 23). Will be held at
The Robinson Library, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne
March 31st - Digital Rights Management: Practical Approaches to Securing
and Protecting Copyright
Starting with copyright law, we highlight the copyright clearance
obligations within different types of digital images, and offer practical
approaches to the task of obtaining copyright permissions. We also show
attendees several practical methods protecting copyright within a digital
environment. Throughout the day we examine various contracts and end user
licenses. Will be held at The Robinson Library, Newcastle University,
Newcastle upon Tyne
