¢Sport Archives and Digitalization

The conversion of paper documents to digital format offers potential benefits to information managers. Digitizing documents improves their accessibility via the Internet, promotes content analysis through the use of search engines, and allows for conservation of the original paper. As an increasing amount of information is created and published in digital form, however, information managers are required to develop new methods of organization, storage, and preservation. Topics to be addressed include:


, Impact of digitization on scholarly research
, Retrieval, delivery, and organization of digital documents
, Digitization and intellectual property law
, Data structure and metadata of digital documents and collections
, Digital conversion project case studies
