ALCTS webinar: Why (Not) Digitize?

Date: Wednesday, October 23, 2019

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 AM Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 PM Central, and 2 PM Eastern time.

This webinar is part 2 of 3 in the series “A Compass for the Digital
Frontier <http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/webinar/digital>.”



Description: In libraries, access is our watchword. Digitization allows us
to provide that access to people near and far, while also offering a way to
help preserve the physical object that has been digitized. But deciding
what we can and should digitize is a complex question balancing value,
uniqueness, condition, format, desired longevity, legal responsibilities,
restrictions, privacy issues, audience and institutional resources. This
session will introduce the various concerns to address before digitization
even begins, will guide participants through the steps they might take in
selecting materials for digitization, and will provide resources for
continued learning.

Series description: This series of three webinars is intended for
librarians eager to expand their collections' digital horizons. While trial
and error can be a powerful learning tool, digital preservation has common
practices and approaches that can provide a strong foundation for any
institution. This series will explore these practices and approaches,
preparing participants to: draft a cogent case for digitization, describe
the challenges inherent to digital preservation, and plan an assessment for
their digital preservation program. Each webinar may also be taken as a
standalone.

Learning outcomes:

At the end of this session, participants will:

● gain an understanding of the varied considerations that inform the
decision to digitize collections;

● be able to identify steps in making selection decisions based within
institutional priorities and goals; and

● become familiar with appropriate resources for making selection decisions.

Who should attend?

This webinar is intended for staff at libraries and cultural heritage
institutions with an interest in, or responsibility for, digitized
materials. It is also appropriate for students and those new to digital
preservation.
