Is your library involved with digital conversion projects? Are you hoping
that you can keep that digital content over the long-term? If so, this program
can help you to succeed in organizing your projects and programs within the
context of preserving the digital
files. ALCTS/PARS and LITA are pleased to present the program DIGITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT: IMPLICATIONS FOR
PRESERVATION at the upcoming
American Library Association Annual Meeting
2007,
DIGITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT: IMPLICATIONS FOR
PRESERVATION
Saturday June 23,
2007
1:30 to 3:30
pm
Sponsored by the Association for Library
Collections and Technical Services
(ALCTS)
Preservation and Reformatting Section (PARS)
and the
Library Information and Technology
Association (LITA)
This program will explore the preservation issues implied
when an institution begins a digital reformatting program, and how colleagues
are addressing them. It will examine program management, including selection,
reformatting quality guidelines, technical metadata, and innovative approaches
to archiving digital masters. Our past practices addressed preservation concerns
of analog materials well into their lifespan. In this digital age, however, we
must gather information at the time of creation to improve preservation
planning, decision making, and eventual
outcomes.
