Description: |
All are invited to hear Associate Professor Paul Conway of the School of Information present the first significant findings from a study of how the terms and conditions for building collections of digitized visual resources -- particularly historical photographs -- influence how users judge archival quality, integrity, and value (and hence usefulness) of digitized resources. He will articulate criteria for distinguishing best practice documents from general opinion pieces or reports on experiments. He will then assess the cumulative influence and power of 17 guidelines documents on the development of best practice recommendations and a network analysis of the interconnected patterns of influence by individual experts and leading organizations that have sponsored or contributed to the development of community best practices. To promote in-depth intellectual engagement during the seminar, guests are encouraged to read Conway's paper in advance.
