>  SURVEY ON PHYSICAL PREPARATION OF MATERIALS TO BE DIGITIZED
>
>The Research Libraries Group (RLG) and the National Preservation
>Office (NPO UK/Ireland) are jointly sponsoring a conference 28-30
>September which has the overall theme, Guidelines for Digital
>Imaging.
>
>In order to gather information about the processes employed in the
>preparation of materials for digital imaging, the Working Group on
>Preparation has devised a public survey tool.  This survey is
>web-based and is available through the conference site:
>http://www.rlg.org/preserv/joint/preparation_survey.html or
>http://www.thames.rlg.org/preserv/joint/preparation_survey.html
>(from Europe)
>
>The following brief description is taken from the introduction to
>the survey:
>
>  "The Working Group on Preparation is trying to assess current
>  practice relating to preservation aspects, prior to, and
>  during, digital image capture. It is hoped, eventually, to produce
>  best practice guidelines which will reflect preservation
>  needs/concerns during digital image processing."
>
>  "As part of this project, we would be grateful for answers to the
>  following survey, together with any additional information
>  you think may be helpful in compiling these best practice
>  guidelines.  N.B.  All responses/information will be treated in
>  confidence."
>
>The Working Group would like to encourage *all those* involved with
>digital imaging projects to visit the Joint Conference site and
>complete the survey - **whether you will be able to attend the
>conference or not**. The more survey responses submitted, the better
>the chance the conference will have at identifying current
>practices, identifying consensus or dissension, and moving forward
>towards codifying best practices where possible.
>
>The Working Group on Preparation will need to have survey responses
>in hand by Monday, 14 September in order to process and include the
>information in their papers.  It is estimated that the survey will
>take approximately 15 to 20 minutes to complete.  The Joint
>Conference planners and speakers would like to encourage **all**
>people involved in digital imaging projects to visit the conference
>Web site and to complete the survey.
>
>
>We thank you in advance for your assistance.
