Digitization Blog


A new 'blog that may be of interest to some readers, digitizationblog
digitizationblog focuses on digitization and related activities in libraries, archives, and museums, and is a source of news relevent to people who manage and implement digitization projects. Postings about new technologies and tools (particularly software), developments in metadata, and government or consortial initiaves are welcome, as are pointers to new and innovative collections of digitized and born-digital material. Even though there are several excellent sources of digitization news such as the DigiCULT Newsletter and RLG DigiNews (and this blog certainly isn?t intended to replace them), there is a lack of space on the web where implementors can share ideas and useful pointers. digitizationblog is intended to fill part of this gap.
