Newspaper Digitization - Is it really possible?

There are so many questions - How do we fund such a project?  Which
software should be use?  Which newspapers should be digitized?  How do I
train my staff and create a productive workflow?

Come and learn how two libraries have answered these questions and created
digital newspapers projects.  Sue Kellerman, Head of the Preservation
Department at Pennsylvania State University, will discuss the University
Libraries newspaper digitization project and their use of the Olive
software.  Kenning Arlitsch, head of Digital Technologies at the
University of Utah, will describe the Utah Digital Newspapers Project and
their use of the ContentDM database software.
