Call for Presentations

Digital Sense and Nonsense:
Digital Decision Making in Sound and Audiovisual Collections
Digital has been with us for many years now, so much so that there is little
disagreement in the sound and audiovisual world that digitising our heritage
collection is the best way to preserve and sustain access to our valuable
content. Virtually all new materials are now collected in digital form so
there is little choice but to manage our digital collections if we want to
keep them for future users.  There are many examples of digital strategies
working well, and many new initiatives which expand the number of users we
reach and the way we use our collections.  So why is there still so much
discussion, so much concern? Why are there still so many complex decisions
to make?  Is it just that there are big hopes but bumpy roads, big promises
but limited resources, incredible semantic possibilities but illegible road
signs.

Is it due to the varied needs of the disparate field of creators,
performers, recordists, intellectual property owners, depositors,
collectors, archivists, technicians and users?  Is this because of the great
diversity in the capabilities, competence and capital of their owners,
curators and managers?  There is a great range of issues and concerns that
all have in common: digitization now has become a necessity, standards are
being agreed upon and mutual solutions are shared - but myths are also
created and perpetuated... This conference will be a forum to review the
field, investigate and discuss the following subthemes and expose the
misinformation in the digital age:

 *   Facts, advice and misinformation on the digital way
 *   The challenge of format varieties
 *   Added value and funding the feast
 *   Metadata
 *   Turning archives into assets
 *   Mass digitization
      *   Workflows and bottlenecks
      *   Appropriate technology and suitable scale (or when small is
beautiful)
      *   Does one size fit all?
      *   The big, the bad and the ugly
 *   Open access and open standards
 *   Access and aggregators
 *   Managing change in the digital age
 *   Management myths and technical realities
 *   Storage solutions (and what about the original analogue material?)
 *   Collecting sound and audiovisual materials in the digital environment
 *   Social media and digital sound and audiovisual collections
 *   Digital preservation and the digital divide: who can afford to
digitize?
 *   Training, Education and Learning within a digital domain
