Development of Cultural Information Sources Using Digital Multimedia

This will explain the Introduction to Imaging assignments being done for the IS 275 UCLA course Winter 2002.  This will serve as a text for the class, explaining issues of scanning cultural heritage materials.  Because the book will be revised this summer, students will review, evaluate, and suggest changes for the revised edition.  In addition, by looking at both the print and the Web version, students will gain insight into what is appropriate for each delivery media, and how to use each media most effectively.
