Open Questions
1.
Which part of
the course did you find most useful?
Selection of materials for digitisation
Admin tips for running a big project
Steve Tanner
Grant Young – Technicial issues
Thursday afternoon session
Each section complemented the other
Introducing digitization
Management issues – Simon Tanner
Metadata – TA – Grant Young
All of the course was useful as an introduction
to the whole area of digitizing collections.
All aspects covered management, preservation, access and metadata
2.
Which part of
the course did you find least useful?
For
the metadata part would have been nice to have more exercises/brainstorming
Possibly
‘Turning the pages’ – but still worth including
Turning
the pages
The
BL – interesting but PR focused
It
was all useful
All
useful
Purely
technical information – was not relevant for my needs but the level to which
it was covered seemed important for the course as a whole
3.
Have you any
other suggestions for improvements to the course?
Take
into account times of transport – trains from
Could have broken up Steve Tanners talk.
It was very dense but interesting
If all lectures provided print-outs of
overheads – would help with note taking
NC was excellent and informative
Handouts would have been useful
More handouts would have been helpful
4.
What other
activities would you like to ANLTC to offer?
Would
be great to have some hands on workshops i.e. xml etc.
Follow-up training on this topic
Would it be possible to keep a register
of current/planned digitization projects _
to avoid duplication?
Copyright in audio visual materials
Workshop
on (funding bids for) developing large resource collections – as academic
resources (to form part of the workshop, please)
Further digitization – in more detail
5.
Any other
comments or suggestions?
Very
helpful event
In
the long Thursday pm session it might have broken the time better if we’d
taken the tea break a little later. Concentration
became difficult towards the end. It
would have been useful to have a copy of all the overheads especially for
writing down URLS.
Thoroughly
enjoyed the event
Afternoon
session, day 1, could have been broken down into 2 sessions.
Tea breaks are too soon after lunch
Room too hot
Water please
