Subject: Wisconsin Heritage Online Digitization Online Four-Course
Series
Dear List Serve Members,
Wisconsin Heritage Online through WiLS and Minitex is sponsoring a set
of four two-hour webinars focused on digitization information and skill
development. We are holding two sessions in May; one in June and the
last one in July. The sessions will be taught by Linda Stewart from OCLC
Western, who is based in California. The sessions require broadband
internet access and a phone line (800 number). We will send instructions
prior to the meeting time for you to download the required applet. I
will work with Linda Stewart to tailor the sessions to our Wisconsin
cultural heritage institutions.
If you would like to attend a session but do not have broadband
internet access, please contact us before you register. We will either
try to arrange access at a library near you, or provide contact
information for someone registered at a location near you. WiLS will
invoice registrants for payment. If you would like one invoice for all
four sessions, register for all four sessions at once. See Added
Information below.
The first of these sessions, Developing, Funding and Managing Digital
Projects was EXCELLENT!
The cost for the remaining three sessions will be $40.00 per person
per session:
