OCLC CONTENTdm Webinar Session
Where do we go from here?
with Russ Hunt, Product Specialist, Digital Collection Management
Friday 29th February, 10.30-11.30 GMT
Many European libraries have by now dipped their toes and offered
digitised access to collections. The extent of experimentation ranges
enormously. Some have provided access to a small number of jpg images
via the library website, giving users a flavour of the collections that
lie within. Others have made collections available through accessing
project funds. And there are still many more libraries across Europe,
that are weighing up their options, without having yet made any moves to
digitise.
In most cases, libraries that have at least started to digitise, are
encouraged by feedback from users to continue with these efforts. But it
is here that the challenge of building a sustainable - and therefore
affordable - strategy for digital collection management begins.
Where do we go from here? is focused on giving European libraries and
archives an introduction in to the processes behind digitisation. Also,
what have we learnt from the many US and European libraries who have
digitised their collections to date? How have they quantified the
benefits of making their collections accessible online?
This event is aimed at Collection Managers and Archivists who are
looking at sustainable and affordable approaches to digital collection
management, and would like to hear how CONTENTdm could provide them with
the right solution.
Three reasons why you should attend this event:
* It's educational - it will provide you with an introduction to
the concepts and process of digitisation. A useful first step before
committing to digitisation workshops;
* It's informative - we will be sharing the collective knowledge
and wisdom of numerous libraries that have worked with OCLC over the
last few years, to make their collections digitally accessible;
* It's a webinar - no need to leave your own office, this
hour-long session is accessed via your desktop.
* It's free!
