ALCTS film presentation schedule correction

From: Julie Arnott <jarnott>
Date: Monday, May 23, 1994
There have been discrepancies in the some of the schedules that I've
seen regarding the exact title, location, and length of the "Film To
File" program at ALA Annual in Miami.  What follows is the correct
information.

Title:  "Film to File and Back Again"
    (formerly "Film to File: Moving from Microfilm to Electronic
    Formats"

Location: Miami Beach Convention Center - D233 and D234
Time: 9 am-11 am

Sponsored by the ALCTS Preservation Microfilming Committee
Co-sponsors: RLMS Electronic Imaging Technologies Committee and LITA
Optical Systems Interest Group

This program explores concerns raised when converting microfilm to
digital files and reformatting digital files to microfilm.  Issues
related to hybrid systems incorporating film and digital technologies,
quality control, and standards are examined.  A fuller understanding of
the critical requirements that must be met as we move to the next
generation of reformatting technologies will be gained.

Moderator:

    Pamela Mason
    National Agricultural Library

Speakers and topics:

    Meg Bellinger
    President, Preservation Resources
    Topic: Film quality issues related to producing "scannable" film.

    Dan Arbour
    Vice President of Advanced Information Products, University
        Microfilms International
    Topic: Film quality issues related to the production of microfilm
        from scanned images.

    Bill Neale

Please spread the word to your colleagues about the correct title,
location and time of the program.  The final program *may* list the time
as 9:30 a.m.-11 a.m.  That is *not* correct.
