Moving Theory into Practice: Cornell's Digital Imaging Tutorial
http://www.library.cornell.edu/preservation/tutorial
The Department of Preservation and Conservation of Cornell
University Library announces the public release of its online digital
imaging tutorial, Moving Theory into Practice. Although designed as an
adjunct to the recently published book and workshop series known by the
same name, the tutorial can also serve as a standalone introduction to
the use of digital imaging to convert and make accessible cultural
heritage materials.
Produced with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the
tutorial is currently available in English, with a Spanish language
version to follow in December 2000 (from the same Web address). The
tutorial consists of sections encompassing all the major aspects of
digital imaging: Selection, Conversion, Quality Control, Metadata,
Technical Infrastructure, Presentation, Digital Preservation, and
Management. Designed to be self-guided and self-paced, the tutorial
includes frequent "reality checks" for evaluating the
understanding of the presented material. Most sections are heavily
illustrated, and provide suggestions for further reading. The tutorial
also includes several tables, providing reference data on topics such as
graphic file formats, compression techniques, scanner characteristics,
and institutional guidelines
