| Abstract / Summary: |
From 1995 to 2005, the Northeast Document Conservation Center
(NEDCC) presented its School for Scanning conference eleven times
in cities across the United States, serving a total of nearly four thousand
professionals. The program addressed a seemingly insatiable
need for training on building, managing, and preserving digital collections.
Because the conference was presented by an organization
whose mission is preservation, the emphasis was on standards, quality,
and assuring long-term access to digital collections.
Since 1995 the content of the conference has evolved as institutional
digitization programs have matured and as standards and best
practices have developed. The succession of conference agendas
provides a series of snapshots of the effort that has gone into bringing
digital programs into being. This article, originally written as
a paper for the 2006 Congress of the International Federation of
Library Associations [IFLA] in Seoul, Korea, looks at how the needs
of the audience changed over the decade. It evaluates the factors
that have contributed to the school’s ongoing success and at current
challenges to this continuing education program as the experience
level of professions in the field advances rapidly. |
