[Libs-Or] Please plan to attend: The World Reads: Digitizing Materials for International Use

[Sapon-White, Richard]

For those of you interested in digitization projects and forging
international links for your libraries, please plan to attend the
IRRT-sponsored program this coming Friday at OLA:

The World Reads: Digitizing Materials for International Use
Pam Osborne, Mercy Corps; Steve Delamarter, George Fox University; Jon
Jablonski, University of Oregon
Fri. April 3 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM in Crosian B
How does one create a digital library for use by patrons in other
countries? What challenges exist when digitizing materials in different
alphabets or scripts - especially when working in other countries? Come
hear speakers discuss the digitizing of cultural heritage materials in
Chinese provincial libraries and ancient manuscripts in Ethiopia, as
well as the creation of a digital resource library for Mercy Corps
workers stationed around the world. Learn about cooperating with
cultural resource agencies in other countries, opening up hidden
resources to scholars worldwide, and providing digital resources to
remote users.
