Subject: baynet-Infopeople's Part Two of the Digitization Series
Infopeople is pleased to announce a new workshop, "Scanning for
Preservation and Access."
This workshop is Part Two of a three part Digitization Series produced by
Infopeople with sponsorship from the California Digital Library and Online
Archive of California. Part Three of the Digitization Series will be
"Metadata and Record-Building." Courses in this series may be taken
individually; each course covers different material. Part One, "Managing
Your Digitization Project," has already opened for registration and is
scheduled to begin, today, February 4, 2003.
Part One is a four-week distance learning workshop and Parts Two and Three
are one-day, hands-on workshops. These workshops are designed to help
California libraries develop and implement digitization projects, including
projects funded through LSTA grants administered by the State Library of
California.
Title: Scanning for Preservation and Access
Dates and locations:
Monday, March 17, California State Library
Tuesday, April 1, Cerritos Public Library
In today's library, scanning images both to preserve them and to make them
more broadly accessible is a natural step in collection development and
maintenance. But if your knowledge of scanning is limited to use of the
library photocopier (Did you know a copier is a scanner?), then this
workshop will bring you up to speed on questions such as:
--What scanner is appropriate for my project?
--How do I protect my fragile archival material while scanning?
--What are master and derivative images?
--What are pixels and pixel resolution, and what resolution is right for If
my image file is over 50MB, did I do something wrong?
--Should I be worried about RGB color space?
When you begin scanning for preservation and access, you must take control
of the quality of your images. In this workshop you will learn how to
select a scanner, to manage the scanning process, to understand, and to
select and implement appropriate scanning standards. You'll also pick up
some very practical tips and tricks to make scanning as easy as possible to
accomplish.
Workshop Description: This all-day workshop will provide a full
understanding of imaging standards and best practices, especially as
specified in the California Digital Library's Imaging Standards and Best
Practices guidelines. You will also learn how to use tools such as monitor
calibration, Photoshop light levels, batch processing, and how to make the
scanning process run more smoothly. This hands-on course offers many
practical and useful tips that can be applied immediately to your scanning
project at work or at home.
Topics To Be Covered:
*What a Scanner Does
--Scanning process step-by-step
--RGB versus CMYK color space
--Finding you scanner's sweet spot
*Setting Standards
--Image resolution - pixel size, extrapolation, optical
--File compression - when to use it and how
--File types - TIF, JPG, GIF, PDF
--Using file directories to save you time later
*Modifying the Image - When and How Much
--Scanner software - using ICE, ROC, TWAIN
--More on color space: gamma, white point and levels
--Photoshop tips - unsharp mask
*Good Practices and Quality Control
--Maintaining consistency - color charts and scales
--Color management
--Batch process
Workshop Instructor: Trudy Levy. Trudy founded a consulting business
called Image Integration to advise on the development of digital image
collections and to provide the necessary training. Her client base
initially was private business ventures, but over the years it has expanded
to include library collections at universities and museums. Her work with
libraries brought her to the Visual Resource Association where she has been
active at the local and national level and is currently VRA's Membership
Chair.
Who Should Attend: Anyone in a California library who is about to undertake
a digitization project that involves doing the scanning in-house; who is
planning a scanning project and wants to know exactly what is involved from
a functional perspective; or who is interested in adding this valuable
skill to his or her repertoire.
Prerequisites: While knowledge of Adobe's Photoshop is not required, a
familiarity with their toolbar and palette layout would be beneficial.
Fee: There is a $75.00 fee for this workshop. Infopeople does not provide
parking passes, lunch or refreshments.
Other Logistics:
*On-site check-in is from 8:30-9:00 AM; instruction is from 9:00 AM-4:30
PM.
*Maps, directions, and parking information are available on the Infopeople
Web site at http://infopeople.org/WS/workshop/Directions
*Infopeople does not provide refreshments or lunch. Since some training
locations do not have in-house or convenient food service, Infopeople
recommends that participants bring a sack lunch.

Subject: [alumni@sims] Library community implications in Dean search
Dear SIMS and SLIS alumni:
Many of you are aware of the loss felt by the library community when
South
Hall shifted its curriculum away from library science and dropped its
ALA
accreditation as it became the School of Information Management and
Systems
(SIMS).
Right now SIMS is searching for a new Dean, and there appears to be an
opportunity to re-integrate library-positive values within the program.
On
Friday, January 31, 2003 a public forum was held by the search
committee,
and I and several other academic and public librarians made a plea to
make
sure that the new dean should be open to both including a library track
in
the curriculum and to considering re-accreditation with ALA. It was my
distinct impression that the committee seemed genuinely supportive of
this
suggestion. Although the personal and professional qualities on the wish
list are long, and there is still strong support for candidates with a
business or information technology background, it does appear that there
is
genuine openness to considering candidates that support the instruction
of
library science.
I encourage anyone who may know of suitable candidates to submit their
names right away to the committee (see text below.)
Lincoln Cushing, SIMS 2001

Should you be interested in nominating anyone for this position, please
send an email directly to the staff person for this
committee: kriordan@uclink.berkeley.edu. Include in the subject heading
"SIMS nomination," and include your name, the name of the person you are
nominating, and the name of their institution. The deadline to receive
nominations is February 1, 2003. [editor's note- this deadline has been
extended]
Please include any suggestions you may have about the criteria you
believe are critical for the committee to consider as they review each
