          ***********Digital Imaging: Preservation Issues**************
          The increase in digital imaging projects for library and archival
          collections raises many issues related to selection, resource
          allocation, and long-term access (preservation). This two-day workshop
          provides an introduction to the technology of digital imaging and
          addresses the following questions: What collections or resources area
          appropriate for digital conversion? How will digital files be
          maintained? Who is responsible for ensuring future access to this
          digital information? Is future access necessary? Is future access
          necessary? Through lecture, discussion and case studies participants
          will gain the tools needed to make informed decisions about imaging
          project planning.
