What is the School for
Scanning? This conference, taught by some of our
nation?s leading experts in digital library development, provides current,
essential information for managers of paper-based collections (including

assets. Participants will leave the
conference better equipped to make informed choices regarding management of
their digital projects/programs.

attend? Administrators within cultural
institutions, as well as librarians, archivists, curators, and other cultural or
natural resource managers dealing with paper-based collections (including
photographs) should find the School for Scanning conference highly
relevant and worthwhile. Since the
content and complexion of this conference evolves with the technology, it may
prove beneficial to attend even if you have participated in a previous
School for Scanning.

expected.

cost? The cost of the conference is $385 and
