Continuing Education Course -- Digitization Workshop Instructor: Jill Hurst-Wahl, Hurst
Associates, Ltd.
Digitization is much more than converting a physical or
analog object into its digital equivalent: it efficiently repurposes
crucial information resources to improve their use by staff, colleagues,
and end-users. For libraries, digitization can open the collection to a
much larger user-base, whether that user-base is comprised of
researchers, students, or business people. A dangerous trap for
digitization efforts is to focus on the conversion process instead of
other, mission critical, pre-scanning issues such as selection criteria,
preservation of original documents, metadata creation, software and
hardware concerns, integration into existing systems, and legal issues.
These issues and more will be discussed in this workshop.

Applying the Information Commons Concept
Learn more about information commons -- what it is and
why you might want to develop one -- as well as how to apply the concept
to your library space, regardless of library type. The head of the
Information Commons at the University of Kentucky and [tentatively
someone from a special library] will discuss information commons
implementation from planning and design to publicity and assessment.

Games for Training: the Good, the Bad,
and the Ugly
The notion to
use computer games for military training is almost irresistible.
Unfortunately, unstated, unexamined assumptions about learning and the
character of and driving forces behind commercial games can lead the way
to unpleasant results if we dont keep the goal of proficiency gains
ahead of blindly use of games. I discuss a handful of lessons learned
while developing and deploying two new training systems within DARPAs
DARWARS program. Perhaps they will constrain the dark side of
computer-based training from tainting other, training-based, efforts to
deliver a wide range experiential learning delivered by light-weight
simulations

Distributed Digital Preservation: The MetaArchive Approach
The MetaArchive
Cooperative is a model for secure, distributed digital preservation for
born-digital and digitized cultural heritage content. Six Southeastern
universities, working with Library of Congress and with funding from its
National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP),
have developed a distributed preservation network based on the open
source LOCKSS software, and are using that network to preserve one
another's at-risk digital content. This presentation will provide an
overview of this innovative, collaborative approach to digital
preservation, which is now being coordinated by the nonprofit Educopia
Institute.
