The following email, from Paul Sandford of South Bank University, might
interest NOF-digi projects undertaking image digitisation. As I only
received it this morning, I am presuming that the cut off date has been
extended beyond the 17th January mentioned in the email.

>
> Digital Imaging Awareness
>
> We are planning three events to be hosted by LITC at South Bank
> University, London, early in 2002. The first of these HERoBAC funded
> events is being offered to the Education sector on January 31.
>
> Other offerings for interested parties in the Healthcare/Bioscience and
> the Cultural Heritage sectors will follow, on February 7 and 14
> respectively.
>
> These events are intended for anyone wishing to explore the key issues
> in digital imaging, learn about best practice from practitioners, and
> be inspired by case studies. They are not intended to be over technical,
> though pointers will be given to sources of detailed advice and
> information.
> The emphasis on case studies is intended to compliment technical and
> standards training available elsewhere, and to encourage the wider use
> of digital images.
>
> For a flavour of the day planned for the Educational Sector, we shall
> look at issues surrounding the setting up an image database, the
> effective use of
> digital images as well as pitfalls in the context of Virtual Learning
> Environments, CD-ROM  and other portable media, distance learning, and
> library websites in a variety of subject areas. The scope will also
> include an overview of issues affecting the use of pictures in document
> imaging, and highlight issues of copyright as affecting the use of
> images.
>
> Invited speakers will pass on some of their knowledge in this rapidly
> developing area, made possible and affordable by technology advances.
> Examples may be drawn from DNER projects in HE, from initiatives in FE,
> the schools sector and the corporate training sector. All participants
> are invited to submit questions they would like to be addressed in
> advance, and to share their experiences, though there will be no
> obligation to do so!
>
> LIS professionals should find the subject useful in terms of personal
> development and those recently roped into NOF-digitise and similar
> projects should also benefit.
>
> You are invited to indicate by January 17, 2002 your interest in
> participation, without obligation, along with particular questions for
> which you seek answers.
>
> Please email:   Paul Sandford, LITC  [[log in to unmask]]

> and indicate which target audience you wish to be included in:
> Education, Cultural Heritage or Healthcare/Bioscience.
>
> Further details will be sent to interested parties early in the New
> Year, and will be posted on our event website,
>
> http://www.litc.sbu.ac.uk/imaging/announce.html
>
> A modest charge of #30 per event will be made to cover costs for lunch
> and the venue.
