-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Aerial Photo-related poster session at ALA Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2004 17:43:32 -0600 From: Katie Lage <[log in to unmask]> ------------------ I want to let the MAPS-L subscribers know about a poster to be presented at ALA that might be of interest. The poster is entitled "Digitizing Aerial Photographs of Colorado: Metadata, Access, and Sustainability". It is part of a session on technology that may not immediately catch the eye of MAGERT members or other map library folks, so I thought I’d call attention to it. We’d love to talk to other librarians with similar projects during our session. I’ve copied a brief summary of the project and session information below. Summary: The Map Library at the University of Colorado at Boulder, in conjunction with the University Libraries’ Systems Department and the Cataloging Department, has digitized, georeferenced, cataloged, and made accessible via the Web 1,700 aerial photographs of Colorado taken between 1938 and 1947. Session details: Monday, June 28, 2004 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Table 15 Session V: Infrastructure: Technology, Buildings and Equipment, Management, and Digital Reference Services -Katie Katie Lage Map Librarian Jerry Crail Johnson Earth Sciences and Map Library University of Colorado, Boulder UCB 184 Boulder, CO 80309 303-735-4917
