Moving Theory into Practice: Cornell's Digital Imaging Tutorial

          <http://www.library.cornell.edu/preservation/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
