Digital Directions 2012
New Foundations: Creation • Curation • Use

June 13-15, 2012 Boston

Today, it’s a new era in digital collections care and we’re heading back to school! It’s been 15 years since NEDCC first asked the most basic questions about digitization: What? When? Why? Who? and (the often elusive) How? We’ve come a long way in our understanding of digital collections and we’ve embraced models, standards, and best practices for creation, curation, and use. As we’ve evolved, our audiences’ expectations have too. New technologies, global access, and transformative use of our collections challenge us to ask those very same questions again, and to consider whether yesterday’s answers still hold true for today’s digital world.
