> The course ---
>
> This document management and document imaging course is available free for
> self-study on the Internet in the form of these whitepapers and slides,
> which are available at [http://www.ArchiveBuilders.com/whitepapers]. All
of
> the materials can be downloaded with a single click and then printed with
a
> single click. All of the materials are in a single full text searchable
PDF
> file. All acronyms are spelled out. You can also download the materials
as
> native Microsoft Office files so that you can incorporate these materials
in
> your presentations or papers. The in-person course is free to graduate
> students in library science and to persons traveling from Africa. If you
> would like to attend in person, the course is taught as a three day class
> four times per year in the Los Angeles area; with details at the website
> above.

> This course is for managers who have been assigned to manage a document
> imaging system, and must start immediately, but can spend three days to
> study the subject and its background. This course is designed to assist
> managers to be more effective in bringing the immediate and long term
> benefits of document imaging and document management to their
organizations
> and to their organizations’ clients, customers, and constituents.
Students
> will gain an understanding of how document imaging can be used and managed
> in both small and large-scale organizations. Document imaging is the
> process of taking documents out of file cabinets, and off shelves, and
> storing them in a computer. This course provides an understanding of the
> details that there is often no time to review in the rush to implement a
> system. The course content is intended to be useful to students in their
> professional work for twenty years into the future and is also intended to
> be useful for planning to preserve digital documents forever. The course
> may be too broad for those students seeking to learn a specific software
> application. Students will learn about the technology of scanning,
> importing, transmitting, organizing, indexing, storing, protecting,
> searching, retrieving, viewing, printing, preserving, and authenticating
> documents for document imaging systems, and archives. Image and document
> formats, metadata, XML (eXtensible Markup Language), multimedia, rich
text,
> PDF (Portable Document Format), GIS (Geographic Information Systems), CAD
> (Computer Aided Design), VR (Virtual Reality) and GPS (Global Positioning
> System) indices, image enabled databases, data visualization, finite
element
> analysis models, animations, molecular models, RAM (Random Access Memory)
> based SQL (Structured Query Language) databases, knowledge management,
data
> warehousing, records inventories, retention schedules, black and white,
> grayscale, and color scanning, OCR (Optical Character Recognition),
> multispectral imaging, audio and video digitizing, destructive (lossy) and
> non-destructive (lossless) compression, digital signatures and seals,
> encryption, the three components of vision: resolution, color, and motion,
> the imaging technology of continuous tone, halftoning, dithering, and
> pixels, RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) fault tolerance, ECCs
> (Error Correcting Codes for RAID, CD, and DVD), and mirrored site disaster
> planning will be discussed. System design issues in hardware, software,
> networking, ergonomics, and workflow will be covered. Emerging
technologies
> such as the DVD Digital Video Disc, HDTV (High Definition TV), and very
high
> speed Internet, intranet, and extranet links, Internet protocol stacks,
and
> Internet 2 will be presented. The course will include the DVD’s role in
> completing the convergence of the PC and television, the convergence of
> telephony, cable, and the Internet, the merging of home and office, the
> merging of business and entertainment, and the management of the resulting
> document types. Can everything be digitized? The course follows
> Shakespeare through being (or not to be), love, wisdom, knowledge,
> information, data, bits, and discernable differences (optical disc pits).
> Many professionals including records managers, librarians, and archivists
> work with document management issues every day. While not limited to
these
> professionals, this course builds on the broad range of tools and
techniques
> that exist in these professions. The class content is designed so that
> students can benefit from each part of the class without fully
understanding
> every technical detail presented. This course is designed for
non-technical
> professionals. Several system designs will be done based on system
> requirements provided by the students. System designs are done to provide
> an understanding of the design process, not to provide guaranteed
solutions
> to specific problems. There is no hands-on use of scanning equipment.
The
> course is designed to improve the ability of non-technical managers to
> participate in, and to direct, technical discussions. Instructional
> techniques include storytelling, iconic objects, and videos. Interaction
> between students is considered an important part of the learning
experience.
>
> The course covers a wide variety of materials and provides a foundation
for
> understanding the many types of document management. However, some people
> might find the materials presented too broad for their purposes. If, in
the
> course materials, you find a single area of great interest to you, but you
> have no interest in the other topics, it might be better if you included
> just a portion of the class in a self-study plan. Because the technology
> continues to evolve rapidly, and the spread of technology is also
occurring
> rapidly, the course continues to evolve and is different each time it is
> taught.
