Dear all We are now well into the summer term and before the end of August JISC Digital Media have 9 courses running. If you're very quick there is still time to book on our new Digitising Analogue Video Recordings workshop. This is a very hands-on course looking at how to digitise video materials to archival standards and investigates the challenges of creating a sustainable digital collection. It is also running again on the fourth of August. <http://bit.ly/5D68F> An Introduction to Image Metadata will be invaluable if you are currently looking into suitable methods of recording metadata for your collection. If you're in doubt about which schema to use, or indeed just want to find out what exactly a schema is, then this course will be ideal. <http://bit.ly/kHHTe> A new date for Audio Production has been scheduled for the 23rd of July as the course on the 8th of July is now full. <http://bit.ly/EARiu> If you are interested in learning more about how to effectively use a digital SLR camera than our courses in July will be ideal.

If not and you would like to further your skills in both photography and scanning then the image capture courses will make sure that you understand all the vital principles involved in capturing digital images.
