Dear Colleagues

 

In its pursuit to develop excellence and high level research support, LIASA HELIG would like to invite you to the following webinar on digitisation:

 

About this webinar

Part of best practice in digitisation, includes the routine use of targets. The use of targets and the calibration of scanning are two different processes and should not be confused. Targets are used for evaluating the performance of scanners to set benchmarks. The literature recommends that the performance of a scanner must be verified before, during, and near the end of any digitisation project. By doing this verification process, operators can be sure that the equipment perform as expected. It provides a measure to point out any technical problems with the scanner including wear and tear.

 

During this presentation, Don Williams from Image Science Associates (New York) will give a 30 min. presentation on the advantages of using targets for digitising projects and any other relevant information that he thinks is necessary for project leaders and technicians, explaining what they should know and why.

 

Date: Thursday 31 October 2013

 

Time: 1 pm - 1:45 pm  SA Time

Venue: Virtual at http://tex.sun.ac.za (Internet connection, speakers/sound required)

Please register: http://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/l4dWk212B4rfb9vY6MPf

Costs: Free

 

Please join us for the last in our series of webinars for 2013!

[Lib-helig-l] Appeal: Book donations - conservation library

Please contact Ms Grethe Mattheus on research@sainst.org  for more information.

Our institution is the foremost provider of lab-based, heritage conservation training programmes in South Africa. Founded in 1994, the Institute is currently entering the accreditation phase of its development - transitioning towards an Institution of Higher Learning. 

 

The field of remedial conservation predominantly resorts under the sciences, and - worldwide - entry to practice is typically gained via a recognized MA conservation studies programme. As the development of our campus infrastructure continues to expand, we are keen and ready to grow our modest library's printed resources, ensuring that it may serve the post-graduate programme which we are establishing. Residing at the intersection of the hard sciences and the arts (to a degree), the Institute hereby appeals for book donations extending to a broad range of subjects - summarized in the listing below. Certain subjects have specific relevance to the field practices of our institution's outdoor conservation unit, The Heritage Conservation Group, which engages conservation in the built environment. 

 

 

We wish to register ourneed for volumes and journals in the following fields:

Ø       Heritage Conservation

Ø       Material Science

Ø       Chemistry

Ø       Agriculture

Ø       Research Methodology and Analysis

Ø       Building Trade

Ø       Civil Engineering

Ø       Architecture

Ø       Textile Industry

Ø       Furniture Conservation

Ø       Museum Studies

Ø       Didactic Sciences

Ø       Fitting and Turning (Metals Conservation)

Ø       Dictionaries (foreign interns)

Ø       Fine Arts

Ø       Agronomy

Ø       Landscaping

Ø       Horticulture

Ø       Economic Theory

Ø       Urbanisation

Ø       Rural Development

 

May we perhaps request that the overall appeal be distributed via the LIASA mailing list? If you should wish to receive supporting documentation or references, I shall have pleasure submitting the same.

 

We look forward to hearing from you, and thank you for your kind assistance...

 

With kindest regards,
