SCLS Tech Day - Digitization Projects

Italian-restaurant-424940_1920The focus for this year's Tech Day is Digitization Projects. We'll hear from Emily Pfotenhauer from WiLS  about digitization, Recollection Wisconsin, and DPLA. The afternoon will feature a panel of your colleagues sharing their experiences of going through a digitization project. We'll finish up the day with an update from the SCLS Tech Team.

May 20, 2016 at the Sun Prairie Public Library

Agenda:

9 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. Registration & Refreshments
9:30 - 12:15 p.m. Planning for Digitization Projects with Emily Pfotenhauer from WiLS

This workshop will introduce the core components of building a digital collection of photos, documents or other historical materials. We’ll discuss selection considerations and copyright concerns in order to help you answer the questions “CAN and SHOULD I put this online?” We'll introduce the basics of scanning and best practices for long-term storage of digital files. We’ll define metadata and why it’s important, and consider approaches to creating descriptive metadata for discovery of historical resources.


12:15 - 1:15 Lunch

1:15 - 3 p.m. Steev Baker from Sun Prairie and Jessica Williams from Mount Horeb share their digitization experiences. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.
