'DIP'PING YOUR TOE IN THE WATER: DIGITAL IMAGE PROJECTS, WHERE TO BEGIN AND HOW NOT TO END

ARLIS/UK & Ireland Visual Resources Committee event

This study day is aimed at librarians, 'ACADIans', visual resources curators & other professionals working in HE, FE, art colleges, museums, galleries and art collections, as well as anyone involved in managing digital images. Three years ago, slide libraries and image collections were moving towards a 'digital future'. Now it has arrived, are we getting any closer to achieving the transition from analogue to digital? This study day will give some practical guidance on how to manage and, just as importantly, sustain such a project. A number of suppliers of Image Management Systems are also being invited, to give delegates the opportunity to view their products. If you require further information about the event, please contact Clare Hemmings at [log in to unmask]
