(Session 1 – 9:00am-12:00pm) Best Practices in Digitization
Librarians and Archivists need to conserve budgets and sharpen their Project
Management skills.
This speaker will share real life experience in managing these projects as
well as allow participants
hands-on exercises.
- Are you embarking on a digitization project and wondering how to manage
workflow?
- Unsure how to design tracking mechanisms?
- Having trouble designing standard file names?
- Struggling with decisions on formats and scanning sizes?
- Deciding how best to assure quality and include metadata?

issues. Kim and her staff have 14 years of experience in large-scale
digitization efforts for cable television, corporate, academic and public
archives. Known for their strong common sense and pre-planning skills,

(Session 2 – 2:00pm-5:00pm) Assessing the Commercial Value of Your Archives
The popularity of history on Cable and Public Television, as well as
internet auction sites increase the potential for archives to take advantage
of the expanding interest in history and nostalgia. Yet it is sometimes
difficult to know where one should begin.
- What makes an archival collection commercially valuable?
- Which items, formats or content have the potential to become a source of
income for an archival institution?
- How do copyright issues affect your project?
- How does one start a marketing program?
Learn how to evaluate the inherent, artistic and historical value of
archival collections for marketability. Avoid the pitfalls of the “digitize
everything” approach.
