[Image-tools] IAP Image Tool session on Jan 18

[Peter Wilkins]

If you are not already aware of it, there is a two-hour IAP session  
devoted to Image Tools scheduled for next Thursday, January 18  
devoted to Image Tools.  The session begins at noon.  You will find  
links the announcement and maps below.

The Image Tool Session will feature demonstrations of a number of  
image tools, most provided by members of the product teams. Following  
the demonstrations, there will be a panel where the presenters will  
answer questions.

The session will examine the activities that are common among  
educational users of image tools.  Underlying each tool is a workflow  
that encompasses these activities.  The premise of the session is  
that when your image tool selection process should begin with a  
consideration of the workflow that you expect to use, rather than the  
tool features that seems most compelling.

I am especially pleased that Ann Whiteside will present.  Ann is the  
head of the MIT Rotch Library, which houses the Rotch Visual  
Collection.  As the use of image tools becomes more pervasive, and  
tools offer access to more repositories, repository services moves  
beyond simple storage.  The libraries provide a resource to help tool  
providers address issues related to institutional content management  
while preserving the new technology vision.

Here is a list of the demonstrations in alphabetical order that  
includes their institutional affiliation and web site.  The actual  
order of the presentations is still in flux:
