The Digital Content Section (formerly the Online
Section) provides a forum for members to address the needs of
users and providers of all kinds of computerized information.
Central to this section is digital content, including its access,
use, management, navigation, selection, implementation, training,
dissemination, evaluation, and manipulation. Selection concerns
include contract negotiations, integration with the rest of the
collection, instruction & documentation, and dissemination/access
method whether via modem, network, Intranet or Internet, or
installation standalone. Manipulation includes data extraction and
visualization, search and retrieval, data mining, archiving, and
warehousing. Critical to this section is a focus on the evaluation
of the quality of information.
With members' help this page will have news and
information of interest to IT Division Digital Content Section
members -- such as reports on annual conference programs sponsored
by the Section, insights on the Digital Content environment, news
members share, and other neat stuff.
