The 2008 OCLC Western Digital Forum is now accepting registrations

OCLC Western is pleased to present the fourth annual OCLC Western Digital Forum on August 14-15, 2008 in Tacoma, Washington, at the Hotel Murano. This year’s national forum will focus on Making Digitization Count: Assessment and Evaluation Practices. 

The forum will feature experts from the archival, museum and library communities who will discuss current projects to create and automate evaluation and assessment tasks for digital collections. The program will also explore how evaluation and assessment methods inform decision making for digital collections. Presentations will highlight national projects of significance relating to evaluation and assessment of digital collection users, 21st Century learners and model practices for digital program assessment.

The forum is designed to offer a smaller and more intimate meeting setting where participants can share knowledge and create networks with other organizations that are working to develop assessment and evaluation practices. It is an ideal educational opportunity for librarians, archivists and museum staff who are charged with creating digital access to collections.

So make your plans now to join your colleagues at this prestigious national event. For more information about the 2008 OCLC Western Digital Forum and to register, please visit OCLC Western’s Web site.
