Library and Archive Collections for Digital Reformatting Proceedings from an RLG symposium held November 5-6, 1995, in
Washington, DC. The primary purpose of this event was to expose
participants to the evolving environment in which selection decisions
are being made and to provide them with the basic facts and selection
strategies for making good decisions at their own institutions. As in
previous symposiums, the concluding session focused on areas for RLG
leadership and support. Proceedings from an RLG symposium held May 2-3, 1995, at Harvard
University. This 20th-anniversary event provided a forum to examine
economic and other issues raised by the new electronic information
environment, and to consider the potential for collaboration in
designing and supporting this new information environment for research
and higher education. Proceedings from an RLG symposium held March 31 and April 1, 1995, in
Palo Alto, to wrap up two pioneering digital imaging projects launched
in 1993 by RLG with members and with Stokes Imaging Services of Austin,
Texas. This event convened project participants and experts in the
field for reports on various aspects of the projects and discussion of
questions the projects generated. Proceedings from an RLG symposium held March 17-18, 1994, at Cornell
University. This event was devoted to developing a common understanding
about the uses of digital-image technology in preserving research
resources. Proceedings from an RLG symposium held July 23-24, 1993, in Palo Alto, California. This event focused on (1) exploring opportunities for cooperative action to take advantage of technology and improve electronic access to information; and (2) developing strategies for making the most effective use of both available technologies and electronic information itself in support of the research and teaching missions of RLG member institutions. Photograph Preservation and the Research
Library Publication from an RLG symposium held at Stanford University in fall
1990. Contains a thoughtful introduction and five illustrated papers
focused on the problems that deteriorating photographic collections
pose to their repositories. The conclusion summarizes suggested
cooperative actions toward addressing the shared challenge. Publication from an RLG symposium held at Stanford University in fall 1989. Contains four papers exploring the many problems posed to research libraries in providing patrons access to machine-readable data in and outside of library collections; conclusion suggests possibilities for cooperative action. |
