This is mainly for Tracey but thought
everyone would be interested in how
USGS and specifically the map library
at U Wisc-Madison are doing this work.

This is being greatly revised and a version with metadata guidance will be available next week.  It relates to a different model than the one you are receiving.

 

This may be of help and is fairly solid

thanks, Greg :-)
we're having a committee meeting
on library digitization projects
tomorrow morning so it's lovely
for me to be able to say the info
is on its way.

between my volunteering to work 10-15 hours/week
on this (most probably filling in metadata)
and some hunting around for funds
for a part-time position (Lucia
Snowhill is doing this), we
seem to have a good chance at
this end to move the project forward.

I hope you're having fun at your conference :-)

Mary

I completely forgot to send the information before I left for Japan.  I will have it for you within a day.  I am heading off for the meetings but will send the information when I return to my room this evening.

Again, I should have checked my list more carefully of what to finish before leaving but I was in a rush at the last.  

Greg

Hi, Greg :-)
Do you have some more detailed information
on this software, what it is and does?
a demo? or of course if you could
send me the software, the computer
techs here could scope it out.
Tracey Hughes at UCSD would also
like a copy of it.

Mary
