**Date: 16th March 2004, 10.00 - 4.00
**Cost: £75.00
http://www.tasi.ac.uk/training/seminars.html
**Background:
Most teaching departments have over the years, built up a collection of
slides that are an integral part of the tools of the teaching staff and
students. They know the contents of the collection, and the provenance of
the images. They are familiar friends that have
been used time and time again. They might not be the best photos in the
world and they might no longer be in the best condition, but they do the
job.
Now as time moves on, there is of course a demand to make these images
available in a digital form for use within new forms of delivery such as
Powerpoint presentations and VLEs.
So far, the current ethos has been that one of the main gains from
digitisation has been to allow image collections to be widely published
onto the Internet, however this has brought many extra problems and
difficulties that would be avoided if the collection was only available to
its primary users within the host institute.
This Seminar looks at whether it is now possible to undertake pragmatic,
cheap and easy capture of department collections for their own use and the
'pros and cons' of doing so.
**Who should come:
Departmental Managers who wish to learn more about creating and building
departmental resources and their strategic implications.
Teaching and lecturing staff wanting to digitise their own
photographic/slide teaching collections.
Teaching and academic support staff who have an interest in developing
digital imaging capabilities and resources within their own department.
Anyone with a small analogue image collection looking for pragmatic and
easy ways to digitise their collection for teaching use.
**Seminar Presentations will include:
Dr Jane Williams - "Moving from National to Departmental Focus"
Ed Bremner/TASI - "Digitisation is easy?.if you know how"
