Digitization Training

[February 8, 2002]
The IHDC will be offering four classes to help DALNET members prepare for working with Digital Projects. These classes will be free to DALNET members. Space permitting, these classes will be available to non-DALNET members.

Our goal is to provide introductory classes to help members with little or no experience in digital initiatives. As we investigated our options we determined there is a wealth of knowledgeable people in the southeast Michigan area, so many names may be familiar to you already. The IHDC will evaluate these classes and determine if we can or should offer additional training opportunities, so your feedback is important.
