(Southeastern Library Network).

What is the School for Scanning?  This conference provides current,
essential information for collections managers who are seeking to create,
manage, and preserve digital assets.  Participants will leave the
conference better equipped to make informed choices regarding management
of their digital projects.  Although significant technical content will be
presented, this is not a technician-training program.  Conference content
will include:

Project Management                      Collaborative Project Models
Copyright and Other Legal Issues        Text and Image Digitization
Content Selection for Digitization      Descriptive, Structural, and
                                        Administrative Standards
Metadata
Quality Control and Costs               Digital Longevity and Preservation

Who Should 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, will find the School for Scanning conference highly relevant
and worthwhile. Since the complexion of this conference evolves with the
technology, it would be beneficial to attend even if you have participated
in a previous School for Scanning.  An audience of 200 or more attendees
is expected.

early bird registration postmarked on or before October 23, 2001, and $400
