Seminars on imaging

Information Management Seminars will conduct two professional
development seminars on document imaging in the metropolitan Boston
area on May 7 and 8, 1996.  These seminars are of particular
interest to librarians and information professionals involved in
digital library implementations, document conservation, and special
collections management.

The first seminar, entitled "Electronic Document Imaging and Optical
Disks" will examine the current state of the art in electronic
document imaging, emphasizing systems that utilize optical disks as
storage media.  The second seminar, entitled "Optical Disks and
Micrographics: Competition or Integration?" will analyze the
competitive and complementary relationship between optical disk and
microfilm systems for document storage and retrieval. Both seminars
will provide practical advice for planning, evaluating, selecting,
and implementing document imaging systems and services.

The instructor for both seminars is Dr. William Saffady, Professor
in the School of Information Science and Policy, State University of
New York at Albany.  Dr. Saffady is a well-known author and lecturer
on document management and library automation topics.

The enrollment fee is $199 per person per seminar.  There is a
special package price of $350 for persons attending both seminars.
The same seminars are scheduled for California locations in June.
