The Course

Digitization is much more than converting a physical or analog object into 
its digital equivalent: it is about efficiently repurposing crucial 
information resources to improve an organization's retention and use of 
business intelligence. Yet most digitization projects are doomed from the 
start because the focus is on the conversion process instead of other, 
important issues.

One of the most critical issues in any digitization project is the affect 
of copyright and other intellectual property concerns. In this two-part 
Click U Live! seminar series, a pair of digitization project management 
experts will identify and discuss the critical intellectual property issues 
that arise in any digitization project, illustrate how such issues affect 
everything from selection to integration, and help participants develop a 
reliable system that helps them identify and move toward resolving the IP 
issues in their own digitization projects.

Part I - Digitization Project Management in a Nutshell

The first session introduces participants to the core project management 
tools involved in creating, managing, and preserving digital assets, including:
    * When should you digitize, and why.
    * Overall project management considerations.
    * How to decide what materials to select for a digitization project.
    * Storing and accessing digital materials.
    * Best practices.

Targeted Learners
    * Managers who are considering a digitization project or program.
    * Managers whose digitization program has gone awry.
    * Executives or managers who are funding, or may fund, a digitization 
project or program.
    * Scanning and re-purposing professionals who know little about project 
management.

Critical Learning Questions
    * What is the difference between a scanning project, digitization 
project and digitization program?
    * What questions need to be answered before beginning a digitization 
program?
    * Why is program management more important than scanning?
    * What intellectual property issues can halt your digitization project 
before it begins?
    * What questions do you need to ask vendors when starting a 
digitization program?
