Announcing the availability of Digital Imaging for Libraries and
Archives
The Department of Preservation and Conservation, Cornell University
Library, is pleased to announce the publication of Digital Imaging for
Libraries and Archives by Anne R. Kenney and Stephen Chapman. This 200
page guide represents a greatly expanded version of the training manual
used in Cornell's series of digital imaging workshops. It begins with
a theoretical overview of the key concepts, vocabulary, and challenges
associated with digital conversion of paper- and film-based materials.
This is followed by an overview of the hardware/software,
communications, and managerial considerations associated with
implementing a technical infrastructure to support a full imaging
program. Additional chapters present information on the creation of
databases and indexes, the implications of outsourcing imaging
services, converting photographs and film intermediates, issues
associated with providing long-term access to digital information, and
suggestions for continuing education. The guide is issued in
loose-leaf format to facilitate updates and includes two formula cards
designed to assist librarians and archivists with determining
conversion, storage, and access requirements.
The price of the guide is $75.00 plus $5.00 for shipping and handling
within North America, or $8.00 for overseas shipping. Orders must be
prepaid, with checks made payable to "Department of Preservation,
Cornell University," with payment in U.S. funds. For ordering
information, contact Mary Arsenault, 214 John M. Olin Library, Cornell
University, Ithaca, NY 14853, or mla4@cornell.edu
