Jill Marie Koelling spent seven and a half years working for the Nebraska State Historical Society as curator of photographs and head of digital imaging. She is now applying her digital imaging expertise in the Special Collections and Archives at Cline Library, Northern Arizona University where the goal is to create an online archive featuring a majority of the collection.
Whether overseeing a digital project for a historical agency,
engaging in scholarly research, or researching a family history,
both the novice and the computer savvy will find in Digital Imaging
the background and methodologies that can provide a solid basis for
pursuing research in state and local history.
*The Annals Of Iowa*
Digital Imaging is directly applicable to library situations. The
information in this book is useful for digital services
professionals, collection managers, curators, museum directors, and
exhibit designers. Koelling writes knowlingly about the 'endless
struggle to keep the object alive' as preservation issues and image
format changes arise. These are extremely challenging issues for
libarians. As the title implies, however, the book is solely about
imaging and does not include audio and visual streaming. Next book,
Ms. Koelling?
*The Serials Librarian*
...very informative work....the book is a worthwhile investment for
those who are about to embark on a digitizing project and have no
idea where to start or whom to contact for assistance.
*State Historical Society Of North Dakota*
Koelling's conversational style makes the book flow well and it
includes something for museums and institutions of all sizes. The
examples she gives to illustrate her points are easy to understand.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has been considering
beginning a digital imaging program and is somewhat familiar with
the technology and equipment involved.
