Digital Futures is taught as a combination of talks, discussions and exercises. To increase the amount of time for discussion and questions-and-answers within the course framework we have developed an indicative list of good readings to aid your background knowledge as a delegate.
As a minimum requirement, we would expect all Digital Futures delegates to have worked through or to understand the course materials at the "Moving Theory Into Practice" Digital Imaging Tutorial created by Cornell University Libraries, available at: http://www.library.cornell.edu/preservation/tutorial/contents.html
Digital Futures will focus on issues of management and strategy beyond the technical overview that the Cornell material provides. Within Digital Futures, each course theme will have supplementary materials and suggested links as well as background readings. Delegates are expected to have read the supplementary materials in advance of the course. The other materials are for highlighting exemplary projects that may be of use and for background reading.
The course materials are available here as the supplementary materials are not printed.
The delegate pack will also include all powerpoint presentations given by Digital Futures course leaders.
