METRO is sponsoring a Digitzation Symposium on Thursday, March 11, 2004 from 9:00 to 4:00 at Baruch College Conference Center.
The keynote speakers will be David Seaman of the Digital Library Federation and Liz Bishoff of OCLC (and formerly director of the Colorado Digitization Project). David Seaman will address emerging developments in the field of digitization and Liz Bishoff will address the issue of collaborative strategies in digitization.
There will also be an afternoon panel on the topics of digitization equipment, outsourcing digitization processes, and evolving standards in metadata. This panel will include Barbara Taranto (New York Public Library, Research Division) Janet Gertz (Columbia University), and Jerry McDonough (New York University). The symposium will provide members with two breakout sessions to share their insights and experiences based on the panel presentations.
