This September JISC Digital Media are hosting two free seminars focussing on key topics for individuals involved with digital media. The seminars are funded by the Joint Information System Committee under the ‘JISC ITT Workshops & Seminars: Achievements & Challenges in Digitisation & e-Content’ strand.
Seminar Topics and Dates:
Successfully Building and Managing Digital Media Collection
Date: 15th September
In order for a digitisation project to provide useful, effective content many interlinking aspects need to be considered. This seminar, which draws on the knowledge of experts in the field, considers some of the vital facets which lie quite apart from the actual act of digitising. Topics range from case studies of large, successful projects, recording accurate and relevant metadata, rights issues and balancing the demands of users and stake holders.
The Digital Media Collection +100 Years
Date: 16th September
Obsolescence, deterioration of physical storage media or withdrawal of institutional support: just what will prove to be the greatest threat to the materials we digitise today? This seminar projects one hundred years into the future and attempts to predict the future ‘preservability’ of what we digitise today. This seminar will examine changing user demands and inevitable
developments in technology.
Location:
Both seminars will be held in Bristol at the following address:
ILRT, University of Bristol, 8-10 Berkeley Square BS8 1HH
