'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
