Author Information

From the journal Volume 30 Issue 1

This online web site of digital conversion fundamentals serves a number of purposes. According to the Preface page, it “offers base-level information on the use of digital imaging to convert and make accessible cultural heritage materials. It also introduces some concepts advocated by Cornell University Library, in particular the value of benchmarking requirements before undertaking a digital initiative.” Although the tutorial can stand alone, it complements Anne R. Kenney and Oya Rieger's Moving Theory into Practice (Mountain View, Calif.: Research Libraries Group, 2000), serving as an introduction to concepts that are given more detailed coverage in the print publication. It is also intended as a prerequisite tutorial for students planning to enroll in Cornell University's “Moving Theory into Practice” workshops. In addition, I have found it to be a valuable reference tool. I refer to it for its now-established definitions of key concepts and for its generous inclusion of hyperlinks to publications and web sites relevant to digital imaging and digital preservation.
