Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Prom is a recognized expert in digital

archives.

 

Panel sessions and posters will feature topics on community outreach

through mobile digitization and behind-the-scenes tours, digital repository

migration, local grants programs, descriptive workflows, and more. This

year’s silent auction will feature a Bowe Bell and Howell Sidekick scanner,
