MCN invites you to attend the 31st annual meeting of the Museum Computer
Network. <http://www.mcn.edu/Mcn2003/index.html>MCN2003: "Balancing Museum
Technology and Transformation" takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada from
November 5 through the 8th.
Workshops, Sessions and More
Register online at <http://www.mcn.edu/>www.mcn.edu to participate in four
days of workshops, sessions and free-form discussions delving into every
aspect of cultural heritage information management. Whether you're trying
to develop an Intellectual Property policy for your institution, learn
about the latest imaging technology from industry leaders, or explore the
possibilities of building integrated library/museum/archival systems, this
is the place to be. The MCN meeting is where museum technologists go to get
the information they need and build the bridges they want to other
professionals in the cultural heritage arena. Learn about the new
technologies available and then see them in our tightly-focused Exhibition
Hall.
Balancing Museum Technology and Transformation
As a challenging economic year for all, especially those of us in the
museum and cultural heritage sector draws to a close, we want you to join
us in looking ahead to a brighter future. In keeping with our theme we've
asked our contributors to look at how the technology we're busy
implementing is changing the way we work, how our institutions are being
transformed by those technologies and how that transformation can be
managed. We're offering a program that is both diverse and comprehensive.
Go Off the Wall and Online, too
We know travel budgets are tight so we've teamed up with the Northeast
Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) to offer something special: MCN 2003
is immediately preceded by the NEDCC's
<http://www.nedcc.org/owolnv/owol1.htm>"Off the Wall and Online" workshop.
If you're planning to attend the NEDCC workshop, you can get MCN member
rates for the MCN meeting.

13 (L-70). ELECTRONIC TEXTS & IMAGES. (MONDAY-FRIDAY, 5-9 JANUARY). A practical exploration of the research, preservation, editing, and pedagogical uses of electronic texts and images in the humanities. The course will center around the creation of a set of archival-quality etexts and digital images, for which we shall also create an Encoded Archival Description guide. Topics include: SGML tagging and conversion; using the Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines; the form and implications of XML; publishing on the World Wide Web; and the management and use of online texts. Some experience with HTML is a prerequisite for admission to the course. Instructor: David Seaman
DAVID SEAMAN became Director of the Digital Library Federation in 2002. He was the founding director of the internationally-known Electronic Text Center and on-line archive at the University of Virginia.
24 (L-80). IMPLEMENTING ENCODED ARCHIVAL DESCRIPTION (MONDAY-FRIDAY, 8-12 MARCH). Encoded Archival Description (EAD) provides standardized machine-readable access to primary resource materials. This course is aimed at archivists, librarians, and museum personnel who would like an introduction to EAD that includes an extensive supervised hands-on component. Students will learn SGML encoding techniques in part using examples selected from among their own institutions' finding aids. Topics: the context out of which EAD emerged; introduction to the use of SGML authoring tools and browsers; the conversion of existing finding aids to EAD. Instructor: Daniel Pitti
DANIEL PITTI became Project Director at the University of Virginia's Institute for Advanced Technology in 1997, before which he was Librarian for Advanced Technologies at the University of California, Berkeley. He was the Coordinator of the Encoded Archival Description initiative. He has taught this course since 1997, usually twice annually.
