PARS Reformatting Discussion Group

PARS Preservation Reformatting Discussion Group
San Francisco
Sunday, June 29, 8:30-10:30am
Grand Hyatt, Merced B

The purpose of the Preservation Reformatting Discussion Group is to
discuss reformatting issues involving both new and old technologies,
standards, policies, and procedures.  Many preservation librarians
having been involved with reformatting  are now exploring digital
imaging as yet another reformatting tool to provide continuing
access and the use of microfilm as a film intermediate .  Dick
Mahoney from Amitech  representing Mekel and Sunrise, George Morris
from Canon, and Dan Furnold from Minolta, will talk about their
respective  company's microfilm scanning equipment and the technical
requirements   necessary for success.   Barbara Berger, Reformatting
Librarian from Cornell University Library and Tony Troncale,
Associate Head for Digital Imaging under the  Preservation
Reformatting Program at New York Public Library, will help to
clarify the differences and similarities  between the systems before
opening the discussion up to the audience.  Come join us at the
Grand Hyatt, Merced B, Sunday morning, June 29, starting at 8:30.
