22. ročník KONFERENCE O PROFESIONÁLNÍCH INFORMAČNÍCH ZDROJÍCH, 24.-25. května, Praha
22nd annual CONFERENCE ON PROFESSIONAL INFORMATION RESOURCES, May 24-25, Prague

This workshop will be led by Nazlin Bhimani.

The workshop will focus on how to teach information and digital literacies to library users in order to develop their abilities to search, find, access and evaluate and use information. A case study on one way of developing the IL skills in an academic library and the creation of online content will be presented as an example. Examples of how other libraries teach IL skills will also be considered.

Participants will be asked:

• to evaluate what is currently on offer within their institutions and who is involved;
• to work in considering how to develop IL teaching across teams both in the library and outside;
• to consider existing content that can be re-used;
• to plan for new content; and
• to consider both how they will promote and embed IL skills at their institutions.

The workshop is organized in cooperation with CERGE-EI.

This workshop will be led by Dietrich Schüller.

The workshop focuses on a number of key aspects of the preservation of audiovisual documents in the long-term. I starts out with the standard, published by the IASA Technical Committee The Safeguarding of the Audio Heritage: Ethics, Principles and Preservation Strategy, colloquially called IASA-TC 03. This standard defines background and principles of permanent content migration, the only viable concept for preserving audiovisual information in the long-term.

The second part will deal with of IASA-TC 04: Guidelines on the Production and Preservation of Digital Audio Objects. Concentration will be on chapter 5, Signal Extraction from Originals, which is the key for success of content migration, as signal extraction determines the quality of the document for the rest of its life.

Last, but not least, IASA-TC 05 will be summarised: Handling and Storage of Audio and Video Carriers. Carrier conservation has still its important place in audiovisual archiving, as by far not all audiovisual documents have as yet been transferred to digital repositories. Consequently, handling and storage must be optimised until professional long-term preservation can be organised and financed. Additionally, original carriers should be retained after digitisation to the best possible extent to allow later reference.

Participants are invited to visit the website of the International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives (IASA) and browse in advance or download IASA TC publications from http://iasa-web.org/…publications .

The workshop is organized in cooperation with the Library of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, National Museum and National Library of Technology.
